Salmon Faverolle Chicks, possible Roo

[CatSol]

Hello, It has been a long wait here in Southern California. But we are finally free from the Newcastle quarantine. I had a large order of chicks that were mailed off the very next day. I am lucky that I had that order in the works because it is hard to get chicks right now especially this beautiful breed of birds.
So out of the 19 chicks I received I had 2 SF and a my surprise chick is another SF but is straight run. I think it is a Roo and I know that I should wait longer but I think it is showing signs. It would be okay if it is and it's name would stay Ginger
These pics are from 2 weeks, 3 weeks and almost 4 weeks old. I am seeing dark feathers coming out on the legs and back... The other 2 are getting golden feather on their backs. It would be nice to have 3 pullets but I can deal if it is a roo. This is the first time I have had this breed of chicken. Any advise would be welcomed, Thanks

Can you try to get more pictures in natural light, without the red? I can't really see the feather colors good enough to tell for sure.
They're all adorable, I can sure see that!

Lighting is bad in photos, so hard to tell. Turn off red light and use natural daylight for photos. The solo bird in 3rd photo appears to be a male based on comb more than anything.

My apologies. I will take more pics today. Also, more feathers are out. But thanks for your input. I have not had this breed before.

I think all three are cockerels. SF males have the black feathers, pullets don't.
I'd love to be wrong though!

The other two have a lot more buff feathering. They are still young. I know it's early. It's just the largest one is mostly black feathers that are coming in. I hope these pics are better. I just took them today.

Agree. The new photos look more 'hopeful'!

Thanks for the new photos - MUCH better! I honestly thought it was 3 birds with black feathers in original photos, so this confirms it's one male and not 3.
