Two salmon faverolles sold as pullets at Tractor Supply. Hatched out 4 July. We’ve named them Liberty and Independence…Libby and Indy😁
Chick A is smaller, chick B is larger. The most dramatic difference I see is the primary wing feather growth and tail feather growth. No noticeable personality differences. Thoughts on gender?

Size, wing and tail difference doesn't mean a thing. They're much too young to sex, try again in a few weeks, however, salmon favorelle males will get black neck/chest feathers.
I figured it was way too early…just such a difference in wing feathering between the two, I wondered. Faverolles roos are so different from the hens that once the baby down changes into juvenile feathers it should be easy to sex. Thanks so much!
