These two in the foreground are two of my salmon faverolles chicks. They are 2.5 weeks old. I am pretty sure the one on the left is female, and I have two more that are feathering in just like her. The one on the right has me questioning. I thought it was a male, as it is darker as it was the fastest growing and slowest to sprout feathers. However, it has white feet feathers and abdominal feathers coming in.

These are closeups of the chick on the right:

Here are two of my suspected pullets:

I have another which I am pretty sure is male because of the black coming in on his chest and feet, but he has a leg deformity:

What do you think about the darker chick? Needs more time?
