I believe that favoroles have dark chest feathers if they are males but I think 3 weeks is too young for that to show.

My guess is male because of the dark feathers, but might just be the lighting. IIRC ours were dark-ish on the wings and some female birds are just darker depending on where you get them. If it’s more brown than black you might have hens.

I will have to take some clearer pics and put them up tomorrow. I keep looking and changing my mind on what they are at first I thought 3 hens then 1 hen and 2 roos so not sure.

Possible male, first pic with the more prominent comb and some dark chest feathers. However, some poorly colored females will have dark brown feathers…but a male will get black chest feathers (not brown). When we have had male SF, the comb began to pink up around 3 weeks, and was more obvious (although not large) at 3 weeks.

At what age do you think I will know although I have an idea that I have 2 cockerels and 1 hen

You have two cockerels and a pullet.

The one in pic #5 might be a boy, as it looks like there are some dark chest feathers coming in. It's too early to tell anything for sure though.

Hi that's what I thought. I was just hoping for 2 pullets as I would have to rehome 1 cockerel
