Green Queen or Green King 🤔

Any chance my Green Queen is a Queen, or is it looking like a King? About 7.5 weeks old

I have been in denial LOL, shockingly it was a yellow chick!

Yes, definitely a cockerel. These are salmon Faverolles mixes with blue egg layers, so the fact that the chick was yellow doesn't surprise me. Salmon Faverolles are dominant wheaten, and wheatens have yellow chicks with some small markings, sometimes.

So interesting! Yes this one was yellow with markings. So sad because I have 9 that were all supposed to be ladies, one is for sure a roo. Then I was suspecting this and two others are as well

Yeah, that is a bummer. Were they sold as sexed pullets by a store or hatchery? You may be able to get a refund, but you'll still have to decide what to do with the males.

Sexed from a hatchery- they said I could get a refund but I have to wait 7 more weeks to report it. You can see the one that I know is a roo in the background of the first pic LOL. I wish I could get a reshipment instead and not have to pay shipping.. that would be nice

That would be nice! And if they paid you for the time you put into re-homing, if that's what you're going to do.
