Salmon Faverolle Sexing Question

[FarmSunnyside]

This is Changa, she hatched out on April 6th, and we bought her from My Pet Chicken Hatchery. I was looking at her today and she seems to have red waddles growing in which I'm not too thrilled about. Am I actually looking at a cockerel?

Pullet. Cockerels are a different pattern.

If the chest becomes almost all balk in the next few weeks it’s a cockerel.

@FarmSunnyside Is it a pullet? I have 3-wk-old chicks from MPC that look a lot like this.L and would like to see what you have here

Males have black chests as part of their coloring

Changa turned out to be a pullet! Her chest has a few splashes of brown/black but it is overall white and her comb/wattles are definitely pullet-like.

@FarmSunnyside Thanks so much for your reply!! I’m almost 100% sure our chicks are related haha! Mine looks SO similar! Since Changa is a pullet, I’m thinking mine is, too! Thanks again! Enjoy them!
