Hi all. I have 2 questions for the people out there who raise Salmon Faverolles! I ordered some hatching eggs that were supposed to be Bantam Salmon Faverolles. The eggs were bigger than I remembered bantam eggs being but I didn't really have anything to compare them to so I didn't question it. I only got 2 chicks out of that hatch and 1 is a beautiful hen and the other is this little cockerel. They were hatched Feb 29th so are almost 3 months old. I am wondering if someone can tell if he is definitely a LF (pic of him next to 1 qt waterer for comparison) and also if this is how the color of a Salmon Fav roo of this age should be - it looks muddled to me?? I am going to have to sell him and I don't want to tell someone he is a Salmon Fav if he is actually a mix. Thanks for your help. :)

Hi congrats on your faverolles!! 😁 his colouring isn’t great at the moment but some fav boys do tend to go through a very odd coloured stage, I would say by the looks of it he is a bantam although quite hard to tell from a photo, I have attached a pic of one of my boys at 3 months old for comparison (mine are large fowl)
