Salmon Faverolles - Roo?

[RootyBoots]

We received 5 Salmon Faverolles. 3 are definitely pullets- they all have typical pullet coloring- salmon colored wings and white creamy chest feathers.
One is a lighting brown with white chest feathers and some dark gray spots.

Then our last one- dark brown wing feathers and white with gray chest feathers. Sadly I think this little one is a Roo.
Should I continue to wait it out or start looking to rehome now? Is there any hope that this is just a funny looking beard?

3 week old chick.

Black breast feathers indicate cockerel.

Continue to wait and see. This one is ify, but I do not see the dark black of a cockerel.

I would wait and see. I have 3 9wk old SF and only 1 has the preferred standard coloring. The other 2 are hatchery grade coloring......which means a lot of black

So both of yours are pullets?

Thanks for the pictures, that gives me some hope.

Which hatchery are they from? I would wait a little longer, another week or 2. See what color feathers start to come in on the head and neck.

Ugh I have one that looks very similar to yours OP. Didn't realize the coloring was so bad on some hatchery birds. I thought the Faverolle would be the easiest of my chicks to sex, and instead it's the hardest.

Some hatchery chicks are worse than others. I've seen some really bad ones.

Here's mine at around 3 weeks, color looks more washed out in photos. Her chest is about 60% black on one side, but mostly white on the other :

I have no idea what hatchery. They are from a local farmer’s exchange market.
