Salmon faverolle make or female

[Mandykay]

So this is a one week old Salmon faverolle. Can any one give an idea. Male or female?

 

[chickentrains]

cant tell until at least 6 weeks

Wait till 3 or 4 weeks and watch the breast feather in. Mostly black for cockerels and mostly reddish for pullets.

The chest feathers will give you the best indicator. Soonest to come in, and dark/ black ones mean male. Our male SF also developed a pink comb quite early too. Girls remain lighter....although poor quality SF can have darker feathers, they won't be black.

Here is a pic of mine at 2 and a half weeks old (male at the front, female behind) another week or 2 and you will know

Too early to tell...these are my 2 “girls” Esme and Sylvie. Exactly 1 week today

I'd assume pullet, but I usually waited on mine until they were at least two weeks to make any concrete sexing decisions. I also knew how my line feathered out. So many Salmon Faverolles have very inconsistent feathering patterns with females much darker than they should be.
