Salmon Faverolles incubator hatched eggs

[Stuartmouse]

Out of a dozen eggs started, only two hatched. Pretty sure the dark one is a boy, but not sure about the lighter one... Dark feathers coming out on it's head, and all the hen pics I've seen have white head feathers. Any guesses?

How do you tell with salmon faverolles? Are they basically auto-sexing? Just curious

By about two weeks the gender will become apparent as the males will only have black and white wing colours.

Autosexing pertains to chick down and both genders will look the same as chicks. They're just a very sexually dimorphic variety! I agree that they're pullets

Thank you so much all who answered! I was kinda hoping one was a roo, but I'm also quite happy to have two pullets
