Here is my lighter colored bird with its feathers in.....non of the adults look like this bird so don’t know where the coloring comes from

Here’s another thread on roux or Egyptian.

If all of your birds are pharaoh colored, that means your roo is recessive for it I believe, and that chick would have to be a hen. However, idk how roux interacts with colors other than pharaoh, like Rosetta, Tibetan, silver, German pastel etc. depending on what you have in your flock, and what is dominant or recessive to roux (other than pharaoh I don’t know how it interacts with other colors in this regard) it could be male or female.

Still only been a couple of weeks but my birds seem to have fully feathered out and I might be wrong but they all seem to be hens is that normal? Thought there would be more males. Thinking I’ll be moving them outside sooner then I had planed because the birds are flying out of the brooder. And they stink! And it’s warm around here it’s like 60 at night and 90s during the day.

Sometimes males will start with spots on their chests. If you post pics of them we might be able to help or confirm your suspicions.

Two weeks is too young to tell, so some of those that may look like hens now will probably turn into roos.

I agree with @FloorCandy on the probable genders.
