When will my red bourbon poults get their dark red feathers?

When do bourbon red chicks get their deep red color in? I have some bourbon red crosses and I want to know what age I'll be able to tell what color they really are. Thanks!

Adult feathers usually start coming in by 3 months old and usually finish by 6 months old.

My current bourbon reds are around 2.5 months ish give or take, and are getting their dark feathers in. Not a ton of them yet, but they are starting to get them down their backs as well as wings and sides a bit.
