Hen or rooster... So confused....

There is a white Faverolles, but I think they're solid white.
It could just be a hatchery thing. :idunno Sometimes they can produce really poor coloring. I've had many.

Actually at the moment I have a salmon Faverolles cockerel with no real feathers on his feet, just stubs, and Idk what color he's gonna be... but if he's planning on looking like a pure bred SF he's got a lot of work ahead of him :D

From the same bin I got the white one.
When you say 'bin' that sounds like feed store, etc? They are notorious for mixing chicks in bins that are not labeled for them. If you are not familiar with whatever breed you are buying (and sometimes even when you are) then you are going to end up with some 'mistakes' sometimes. And hatchery chicks, which is what they sell, are most often not of really pure lines, even if you get what you thought you did. So incorrect combs and other variations are not uncommon.

The fifth toe, feathered legs and beard say it has Faverolle in it. It's just not Salmon.
 
Yes I got it from tractor supply. But he looks just like a favorelle. I would put it more of a mixed breed than them mixing the chickens. The white one looks just like a favorelle 5th toe, feathered feet, puffy cheeks... Except the color.
 
Agreed he looks like a favorelle, just not a standard color. And as @Frazzemrat1 said he almost looks like a sex link. My guess is his mother was a white favorelles and his father wasn't. Not entirely sure what he was though. I'm somewhat skeptical that this is the result of a salmon cock over a white hen, but maybe?
