Wilco favorelle roo?

[starchicky]

3+ week old chick. Wish I had gotten two of them to tell easier. Getting big feet and beak but maybe normal for breed? Has black feathers with brown tips, used to be only brown. The dark feathers are coming in on the neck and pics I've seen the roos have light feathers on head and neck? Going to assume its a roo but one can hope I guess.

Too young to guess, try reposting pic when 6 - 8wks. Watch to see the developing comb & wattle coloring, can't see in the pic, chick has it's head turned. Looks like frizzled feathering?

Supposed to be a regular favorelle. The comb has come in a bit already.

Could be the angle of the chicks stance that make the feathering look frizzled. Love the coloring.

I'd like to see new photos at 8 weeks of age, too young now
