They were just shy of 3 weeks in these pictures. Please tell me there is at least 1 pullet. Lol. The pictures aren't the best since they are shy but also move around like crazy. There are 5 of them. I think I have them all pictured, but figured if I duplicated some or missed one if I see what genders each pictured are and why then hopefully I can tell. I know roos will get black feathers, but some have a dark gray or maybe black but only a couple feathers. Some I think are dark brown etc.

I will do my best to get better pics today

You're right, with these black feathers mean cockerels in most cases, and females will have that pale salmon color. But strains can vary sometimes. I would let them grow out a bit and keep an eye on the breast feathers when they come in. If there are any solid black breast feathers, then that is a sign that you definitely have a male. It does seem odd that you would get all cockerels but so far I am not seeing any that look like female Faverolles.

Ok I think these are the 5 different ones. There is 1 that I think may be a pullet. Would love to hear your thoughts. A couple look dark brown and not black.
