SF 7 weeks - Pullet or Roo

[OkieB]

This is my 1st SF. 7 weeks old. Supposed to be a pullet. What do y'all think?

Chick has an unusual amount of white but patterning says cockerel. Where did this chick come from?

 

[Crazy for Chickens!]

Yes. Where did you get it?
Can we see a pic of the chest, please?

 

[Alexandra33]

Agreed.

It appears you have a handsome cockerel on your hands.

Really? I was so hoping it was a she!

I could potentially be wrong, and I hope I am. It's just, normally, Salmon Faverolles cockerels are the ones who feather in black on the breast. Pullets generally (and technically should) exhibit white/salmon. However, some hatchery-quality females turn out so dark it's difficult to distinguish the two genders.
