Salmon faverolles facts?

[Mikski]

I have this salmon Favorelles chick. About 5 weeks old in these pics. I can’t figure out if it’s a female with some darker coloring, or a little cockerel. Any input?

I have 3- Merry, Pippin, & Samwise. They are all from mypetchicken and are huge love bugs. Genuinely like little puppies. But they are very high maintenance!

They get bumble foot often, whereas none of my other chickens have gotten it more than once. You need to trim their nails! Stay on top of it. & They tend to go broody.

Also if they get wet in the winter from drinking water I have to dry them off inside because they will be covered in icicles otherwise.

Adorable little pains in the tush. I will never get the breed again but I'm grateful for the experience
