I would have to see the chests on them to tell if any are Pharoh. The Pharohs you can sex at about 2 weeks old. The hens will have speckled chests, roos will have solid cream colored chests. Cheeks have no bearing on gender. I had wild type hens, jumbo Pharoh roos & a cinnamon/red roo. Sounds like you probably got all wild coloring in your batch if they are all the same. Those really can't be sexed until they are 4 weeks or older. The little roos will crow (sounds like a lazer zap from a video game) and begin to get a pocket of foam (sperm) under their vent that will bubble out when you press on it. The little hens will begin to lay eggs around 6 weeks old. They mature REALLY fast compared to chickens & ducks.Here is picture of the new home built for them. I tried hard to decorate it for them, they could care less!All 6 of them look the exact same so far, all around the same size too. 1 is a touch smaller. A neighbor stopped by and said I had all girls, I asked him how he knew, he said males have white markings on the cheeks. If that's true then they are all girls.
They love to dust bath, wow, they are a totally different color now, smoke grey from the D.E. in the dust bath.

It sounds like your neighbor is talking about bobwhite quail, the males have white faces and the females are brown.

Big difference between bobs & cots.
