New Salmon Faverolles, Their both hens right?

[Shadowfire]

Good colors, but not enough white. Once they get their full feathering it'll be easier to tell.

 

[MelissaRose]

Thanks for all of your answers!
Nobody has a guess on their age?

 

[Shadowfire]

Probably about seven to eight weeks old.

 

[lilmillefleur]

Agreed. Both pullets. That is female-specific coloring.

Probably about seven to eight weeks old.

Thanks! The hatchery said they would be between 1 and 2 months old.

They're lovely pullets.

It is impossible to judge their 'show' potential until they are more mature. Understand that if you want really good show birds it is generally necessary to buy from someone who does well at shows - not a hatchery. Yes, single combs in this breed.

Both most certainly girls, near 8 weeks give or take. Probably not show quality,the first girl looks closest to it so far but will still be very pretty.
Know with hatchery birds oddities do pop up, smaller beards and muffs but nothing severe.
Last hatchery faverolle I got turned out to be a miniature a nice surprise.
Enjoy them, they're a fun breed.

I understand that hatchery chickens don't do very well at shows, but they could be used for showmanship, and you can always try them at a show even if they don't do very well, right?

Of course! Most of my girls aren't show quality but they all handle very well.
