I posted in your other thread too. I can't load your pictures (primitive dial up line). Can you post something here? It's usually easy to tell cockerels from pullets, though hatchery stock can be mismarked.

females are usually "dirty" looking as adolescents. After the first molt she'll be pretty ) I love Faverolles, great egg layers!

 

[keesmom]

Definitely a pullet.

She also has some 'black/grey' feathers on her chest. http://m1079.photobucket.com/albumv...1CF68269FEB_zps0b60e251.jpg.html?o=0&newest=1

That may go away when she molts. I've seen some hatchery pullets with far more black than that.

Thank you So she's 100% a pullet?

 

[keesmom]

Yes, she is 100% pullet.

yup 100% female. The males will have dark breast feathers. Also, the wings would be totally black. You can pretty much distinguish sex at 2 weeks old. Males will have short, slow-growing, black flight feathers, and females will have brown to salmon, fast-growing flight feathers. Females will have a full wing way before the males. Congrats!
