Sexing Salmon Faverolles

[Jjdesmo11]

My chick is 2 1/2 weeks. Pure salmon Faverolles but mom has some black in her beard. The black on the wings makes me think roo. But white ends I think pullet. Thanks for any input!

That definitely looks like a little cockerel. Here's a picture of what my boys feather out to (pullet front, cockerel behind her)

That’s what I was thinking. The experts will say wait till 5 weeks im sure. I actually want it to be a cockerel! This was the only fertile egg from my rooster that died. I thought auto sexing breeds were supposed to be easy to sex! Ironically the closest place what has Faverolles was selling out. And someone else said my chick was a pullet. So I bought another 4 week old cockerel and I’m in love with him. Maybe I’ll keep them both! I’ll upload a pic of my rooster at 4 weeks. The one that passed away. And my 4 week old cockerel. Crazy how they can look so different!

I’m a complete newbie to chicks so any guess I would make would be 50/50. Lol

I did want to say your chick is a cutie!
We have 5 Faverolles that are almost 2 weeks and I have no idea if any of them are Roos (I hope not as we can’t have any). Like you said, time will tell.

Yours have no black so I’d say hens! I wouldn’t be mad if it’s a roo! I’d try to raise them both together and see how it goes
