Faverolle cockerals or pullets?

[HenOnTheHill]

I bought these two chicks as sexed pullets from a feed store in our area, who gets their stock from Ideal Poultry. Neither chick is displaying the coloring of a typical salmon faverolle pullet. Is one or both of these chicks boys, or just badly colored pullets (as hatchery favs apparently can be)? Neither one is aggressive or trying to dominate the other chicks (as my olive egger cockerel is doing). The birds are both in on the same side in all three photos. Opinions please!

I think if you look through photos of hatchery Faverolles you will find that the coloring on the pullets/hens can be way off from what they should be. That said, I suspect the one with more black on the breast may be cockerel.

Thanks, the one on the right is the one that I am most curious/concerned about. I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best. I don't mind the coloring if they are both girls!

Oh, that would be a relief! Thanks for the feedback-crossing my fingers!
