I know this is young but any idea what gender those two little yellow chicks could be? They are salmon faverolles and they are a little more gray than the picture shows

A male will have BLACK chest feathers start to come in around 2.5-3 weeks old. Also, the comb will likely have some color by 4 weeks.

I’ll guess yours are female bc they are showing light brown on wings. But, keep your eyes open for black on the chest in case either is a male.
So i am getting white chest feathers!! Definitely female or still wait to see what the back does ?

2 females a bit older than above with light chest feathers (but still one is darker than the other).

Another female from a different source than the females above. She is darker overall, but still brown. Her chest feathers were also darker, but never black.

I've raised quite a few faverolles and by the looks of it you've definitely got two little girls on your hands 😊🐥🐥
