Hatchery Salmon Faverolles

[RevlisRemmah]

I have 4 (supposed to be) pullets from Murray McMurray and one is making me nervous. I ordered a bunch of sexed chicks and 3/15 turned out to be cockerels so far (a CL, Partridge Cochin and Egyptian Fayoumi).
Now I’m worried one of my Faverolles is a male. Hoping she’s just has terrible coloring for a hatchery bird

Here she is with a lighter colored sister. Birdin question on the left

here she is with a dark bearded sister

They look like pullets. I ordered a trio from Murray McMurray that are about the age of yours. The pullets look just like yours - poor quality coloring. The cockerel is almost all black.

Not the greatest pic (don't mind the heat lamp, it is not on). The cockerel is right behind the barred rock and then the two pullets are just to his right. None of them are colored right but I think yours are pullets as well.

Thank you for that picture! That really helps. They are just so muddy looking! Nothing like the pictures on the website. They are definitely sweet and curious though.

Hatchery quality pullets.

Pullets.

We've had SF females from 2 sources. One was dark colored, like I see in your pics (Meyer Hatchery, 2018). The other two were much lighter and more similar to pics we see of proper SF females, but one was better colored than the other.

Nice and docile. However, we ended up getting rid of ours each time bc too docile in a mixed flock - they were truly the targets of the rooster for mating and for any pullet/hen wanting to pick a fight, but they would just sit/lay and take it all. So, we decided they would be happier in a smaller or less mixed flock.
