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

Also, if it helps any, I found these pics from when it was a baby....one week approximately and nearly four weeks, respectively.

I was obsessive about taking pictures of all my chickies but this crew there are so many at the same age that it was really hard to get good pics of them!

While i hate to complicate the OP's thread, can you post a picture?

No worries about hijacking; I don't mind at all! The more cute chickies pics I see in my life the better!

Hmmmm just had another look at yours... does it have feathered feet?

Doesn’t seem to have much beard, is there s little bit of beard/muff?

Not like Cackle hatchery favs, but in some of those past threads I posted links to that had Ideal hatchery favs... I saw a lot of resemblance in the color.

Yes, I definitely see the resemblance..but I'm so hesitant to get my hopes up that it's a pullet! But I also just really can't believe she is a cockerel either.

I ordered 13 different kinds (all different from the ten different breeds I already had, so I didn't even try to worry about sexing them because they were "sexed pullets" and I didn't have time to research sexing tips for each of them...so it was just the other day it occurred to me that this one didn't quite look what I expected her to look like. Now I'm worried in missing things in my other chickie's development too! I can't handle more surprise roosters!

Here is my girl. She is about 10 weeks in the picture I didn't dven know what she was. I bought her as a brahma..

How nice! Thank you for letting me find out about my giant. Funny thing giant chick was the smallest in the box for about two whole days.

It has lightly feathered feet and five long skinny toes. No beard but a little muff for sure.

And I just have to take a moment to say, it feels awful calling her "it" Her name is Vera. Haha...I feel like a terrible mama!

 

[Chickassan]

Can't really go by beards and muffs because some are clean faced, not ideal but it does happen.Sorry to add more confusion.

Hmmm, maybe Vera ( makes me think of the Tv show Alice... and Mel’s dinner, kiss my grits and all that)

But anyway ... maybe Vera is an Easter Egger?

Or only half Faverolle, not sure how likely that is from a hatchery?

Or maybe you just have a really, really off standard Faverolle, I have seen pictures of beardless favs that occur occasionally.

Edit: lol, now I have seen another picture of a beardless Faverolle
