The one on the far right in the first picture I suspect to be male even though it is supposed to be a pullet. It isn't developing a tail like the other two and it is also getting a blackish color to its first set of feathers on its wings. Have I identified these correctly? Two on left as female and the one on right male?

Pretty sure these are female. The two wing pics are darker then they actually are because of flash. I couldn't get them to hold still so I could get a picture of the all together so you could compare the tails and wing colors. The one in the first set of pics above is the only one not growing a tail and has darker feathering then the other two chicks.

I would be suspect of the one with the black tips. I also don't think tail growth is a good indicator. We had one female chick pop a tail immediately, and her sister took forever to grow one. It's pretty cool how the male and female Faverolles develop differently, so it shouldn't take long until you know for sure!
