Is this even a Salmon Faverolle?

[TwoShepherds]

I'm raising my first set of chicks now, so don't make any decisions based on anything I say, but I have a little favorelles chick and I've looked at a ton of pictures online. If mine had that much black and white coming in, I would assume it was a little cockerel. I am delighted with my hatchery chicks but I don't count on them having all the right breed characteristics. My salmon favorelles is probably a bit too dark, and oddly the firth toes on each foot seemed to have disappeared. I know she had 5 on each foot when we got her because it was how I identified her as a favorelles. She doesn't have any wounds, so I know they weren't pecked off or anything awful. Oh well!

They don't "screw up" on sexing.....the nature of vent sexing is that there is an expected mis-sex rate. There are over 20 possible configurations to be seen inside the tiny vent of a day old chick....many of which look very similar between m/f....frankly its amazing they are as accurate as they are

Those pictures are amazing. I'd never seen them before.
Thank you for posting them.

Well, here are updated 5 week old pictures from yesterday - very safe to say that Peaches' new name is going to be Sir Salvador Peaches (or just Mr. Peaches).

He's found some friends in my other chicks (7.5 week old pullets) who I've successfully moved out of the brooder cabin and into a small grow-out / "integrating into the flock" coop that is right next to the big coop where everyone else lives. He likes to hang out by them for most of the day while they are in their enclosed run until they get a little bigger to start mixing in with everybody.

Mr.Peaches sounds soft yet serious.
Good fit!
