Is My Salmon Faverolles a Roo or Just a Strange Color??

[Chickassan]

This is Duece the one faverolle mix for the year, his mom was a buff Easter Egger the color combo you mentioned is spot on though. Guy sends me updates on Duece and his faverolle brother Ray since he took them as a set.

I think you’d get pullets that were white with sort of faded black hackles kinda like a Delaware. And the beards & muffs would be lighter like an Easter egger. And then the cockerels would be similar but yellowish ..,again I think that’s what you’d get, I’m not an expert

I bet they’d be big goofy sweethearts in any case

This is those two as chicks, if you didn't know better you'd never know one was a mix. Those faverolle genes are strong! They were hatched may 2nd and 3rd so going on four months. I did not realise it had been that long! And they must be nice boys since they're still alive. Actually a little proud here.

This is the Salmon Faverolles pullet I got from Meyer last fall. Unfortunately, I lost both my SFs to heat this year when temps were over 100 for about two weeks. Two waterers and lots of shade, but I lost them on different days while I was at work. This girl was a hoot - I miss having her around.

I'm so sorry, it has to be awful when one of these sweet little dorky girls passes.

It looks like she's going to be pretty cool looking. She still dosen't have a tail really I can see the little tips in her fluff so they are coming.

Oh she is so cute! How old is she now? I'm worried my girl isn't looking fluffy at all like she should....

She's almost 7 weeks now, still not completely feathered but she is way better than she was.

She’s such a unique color pattern ( I still really like it) , I wish I new more about the melanotic gene to understand if that is what is going on...

I wonder if @nicalandia would be able to tell us if that gene would express like that on salmon/Wheaton pattern?

What do think nicalandia? What do you think is going on genetically with this dark patterned Faverolle ( sold as a salmon Faverolle)?

She's plenty fluffy for 17 weeks I think her coloration makes her look sleeker. She is beautiful btw! She will get fluffier as she ages, fluffy and wide lol!
