For sure a cockerel, the black chest feathers is a dead giveaway as they are male specific.I am going to piggy back here! We are at about 4 weeks. Fairly certain I have a roo, though I don't see dark on the chest. Plus, the tail still hasn't really come in and all of my other chicks this age have full tails. Thoughts?
I was afraid of that, but highly suspected. Now to find him a homeFor sure a cockerel, the black chest feathers is a dead giveaway as they are male specific.
You should be able to tell the gender by 3 -4 weeks. That’s usually when the chest feathers come in.Can anyone help me to determine the sex of these 1 week old baby salmon faverolle chicks!!???? I'm like 90% sure these are all males?? Thoughts?
That’s awesome. Do you happen to have any pictures of them as babies? I know we are so excited that we were able to get some. They sold out within the first hour that they came in!! Also how were they as young chicks? Were they a little bit skittish? Did you have to hold them often so that they got used to you?I absolutely adore my Salmon Faverolles!
My first ones hatched Christmas day and my second on New Year’s Day.
They are the sweetest, silliest cutest chickens ever!!
I also love the fact that you can tell male from female by week 3ish.
My second batch of chicks had two salmon faverolles. They were not a huge fan of being held but they enjoyed being near me. I honestly didn’t hold them all that often, but they have grown to be very friendly with me and enjoy being held. Both are hens now and are honestly not the brightest of chickens. They also sound a lot different than my other hens! Here is a photo of one of my chicks with her baby wing feathers just coming inThat’s awesome. Do you happen to have any pictures of them as babies?
