and bob is the friendliest and cuddliest, cockreals aren't normally that sweet are they?

Well let's hope she is a Roberta after all.

 

You'll know one way or another soon enough. She'll either crow or lay an egg!

 

I was very impressed with Jody too, and the three hens I bought from her are delightful.

Lovely photos, what beautiful girls (and boy ).

 

the ginger ones are lolan browns (I think the same as ginger nuts)

Might be Lohmann Browns? That's what I was going to get before I changed supplier!

I am by no means an expert, but have seen a bunch of salmon faverolles and the girls all looked like the ones posted from the internet and the boy looked far more like yours - might be worth trying on Practical Poultry forum to see if anyone there can help (I know Kittoch on forum keeps and breeds these, so he would be good to ask).

Aw, they look lovely!

[Electricbarbarella]

wing tips are white and one of the others was stamping on it's back earlier so fingers crossed. doesn't seem particularly dominant.

Is it the colouring that you can tell the difference by?

When she spreads her wings out the tips are definaltey white.

looks like a boy, they can be sexed at a couple of weeks old by the black showing on the wings

 

 

this is my boy plus one of his hens, very different looking birds as you can see.
