How old? Because that’s a mighty large comb for such a young looking chick!

I'd wait awhile longer, but if you want a rough guess, I'd say cockerel- the comb development, the long legs, and the red shoulders.

The dark shoulder patch and large comb has my hmmmm….meter on alert. Just keep watching 70/30 cockerel.

Salmon faverolles can be sexed by color once their feathers come in. Females are cream/salmon colored and the males are mostly black. Here are a couple pictures of my salmon Faverolle pullets. Mine are hatchery quality so they have some darker colors then breed standard. I don't have a rooster to show you the difference but watch for black chest feathers. Right now yours looks just like my really dark pullet did (the one in front on the first picture.)

They look like pullets. Where did they come from?
