Hello,
We have 6 Salmon Faverolles and not sure about this one. It’s much smaller than the others and he’s starting to get darker chest feathers. Any comments appreciated!

Doesn't look like it. I think you've got a pullet.
How many weeks old?
 
She appears to be a pullet, but trying again in three weeks would help
 
Pullet, a cockerel would be differently plumaged, even now. The darker coloring is not unusual in hatchery/production stock
 
Thanks everyone. They’re 5 weeks old. The other ones are much lighter in color

Definitely a pullet.
For reference, this is my SF cockerel at 5 weeks old. A bit blurry but you'll see the striking color difference.
