TSC labeled these as Salmon Faverolles

[BaaKaaawk]

So those *could be* salmon favorelles. I have quite a few and some of mine (especially the hens it seems so not sure if those were sexed) seem to start completely yellow like that. After a few weeks they start to develop color. But they do start yellow... so they *could be* favorelles. You'll have to let them develop a bit more to be sure.

0% chance they are Favorelles. They are clean legged and have 4 toes. That completely rules out Favorelles.

I have one faverolle that has 4 toes on each foot....BUT they are feathered feet and legs on that one.

I agree not favorelle and time will tell.








At the rhyme.

Yep didn't see the feet was focused on the color. I do have 4-toe favorelles though, rarely. But- Give the image you posted I will have to change my vote then to they aren't favorelles. Sorry.

Wonder what they are then... will be interesting to see!

FWIW - I always just buy from Meyer Hatchery. I've found their pricing to be equal to tractor supply and never gotten a wrong bird- plus they have some rare breeds on occasion. Also, they usually throw a few free ones in there to cover your expected losses. Only downside is you need to order around 20 for it to even out with thew shipping- but I just partner in with other local chickeners who want more birds.

Wondering if you contact the store if they can tell you what else they had in at the time you bought those.

i've contacted them 2x - they insisted that is what the box said, salmons. no one there knows much about chickens.

I did get a very odd but nice Faverolles from them last year.
Hatched her chicks this year and they're gorgeous.
I only ordered four chicks so I ate a lot of shipping but I am very happy with the Faverolles from there.

My guess is Buff Orpington perhaps. Not Favorelles and legs are too thin for Cornish

update: at this point i just hope they are leghorns and not cornish crosses. feet are yellow, so not sussex.
