Is this even a Salmon Faverolle?

[Daderbee]

I may be overthinking this question and scaring myself - I’ve looked through at least 15 posts on here and various website pages on Faverolles to help me but I never found a picture of a Faverolle chick looking quite like mine being mainly black/grey and white with some brownish bits at the end of the wings. I think it is just a badly colored hatchery Salmon Faverolle pullet throwing some black - I realize it may be too early to confirm gender since she is around 3 weeks old and she is not fully feathered. She has five toes and furry feet but no noticeable puffy cheeks/beard yet. Bought from local farm store (pretty sure they did not order straight run from the hatchery).

First two pics are from around 1 week of age

I think it looks like one personally.

No, it doesn’t look like a salmon favorelle, must have gotten mixed up with some other chicks.

That’s what I’ve been thinking because the non puffy cheeks and the coloring is off. I was expecting more brown.

Or it could possibly be a cockerel since I’m seeing some black come into the legs now but I don’t know. It seems like some feathers are black fading to white and some are half black/half white. This chick also seems to be feathering fast / comb not very large or pinkish/red yet so I’m not positive it’s a cockerel based on comb size alone. My Penedesenca rooster had a very pronounced biggish red comb at around 3 or 4 weeks of age. My Silkie roo on the other hand took a while to grow his comb.

I can say that this chick is very feisty and pecks me a lot in an aggressive manner whenever I’m trying to handle it / put my hand near it to somewhat socialize it and get it used to humans being around.

It could be one....

@Chickassan knows Salmon faverolle.

Would it be like a male? It doesn’t have puffy cheeks and all the pictures I have seen, they are usually salmon and white colored with puffy cheeks.

I’ll take a photo of my cockerel that’s going through his ugly duckling phase tomorrow...
they have black on their wings and shoulders
Hens are salmon colored

Yeah, I thought the males were differently colored.

You said she does have five toes? In the images it looks like she only has four.

Yes. In this picture, the foot in the foreground seems to show it.
