Favs are pretty easy to sex anyway by the time they are a week or two.The girls won't get those dark wing feathers and males will primarily be dark.


They are so cute...Cindy


ETA: I've read that not all birds can be wing feather sexed...I look at some of my larger ones when they hatch but still can't tell.

Thanks for the comments.

Any ideas on what color they will turn out to be?

Hey looks like you might have a pair of favs I just lost one of my faverolles to a dog attack and I may end up getting more of hatching some if I don't decide to get what the local breeders have (which is really cool) !

if wing sexing works for them the first is a roo because quills are straight second is a pullet because quills are uneven. Dont know if it works with those but if it does that is what you have,
