I am supposed to have all pullets, but they are 19 weeks now and I have been getting fertile eggs (from my year old hens) for a couple of months. So...which one could it be? One of my Salmon Faverolles or one of my Ameraucanas? Who's getting a new name?

The faverolles are definitely pullets. The black ameraucana appears to be a pullet as well. The splash is the only one I'm uncertain of. Another photo or two of that one would be helpful.
 
I don't know???? At first glance I thought top left? Do you have any bigger pics? What about spurs any coming in yet? my little guy about the same age is crowing and has spurs already.:-/
 
The splash also looks like a pullet. I'm not sure that egg is fertile. Usually the bullseye is more apparent then that on fertile eggs.
 
All of your birds are pullets. Maybe you have never before noticed that marking on your eggs, but all infertile eggs have the pale yellow dot. Fertile eggs have a bullseye shape unlike your eggs :)
 

This is a freshly laid fertile egg. After a few days, the center starts to fade, leaving an opaque ring.
I'm pretty sure your eggs are infertile.
 
Can you not see a bullseye in the first one? It's obvious to me but computer screens can be fickle. Here's a different egg that looks fertile to me.
