2 week old Salmon Faverolle Roo?

I know it’s super early but I am starting to suspect this “pullet” is actually a cockerel. Has had darker feathers than the other chick, is getting in black feathers and is just all around more fiesty. They’re 2 weeks old. Any thoughts or guesses?

Can you try to get some photos under natural light? The red light makes it really hard to tell.

This is the one I suspect is indeed a pullet.

The darker one is likely a cockerel, and the lighter a pullet.

I agree, the one with the black feathers coming in is very likely a cockerel.
Will you be able to keep him?

Yes, I just have my girls and was actually hoping I would accidentally get a rooster out of all the pullets I recently got so he could join them and look after them. Hoping none of the other 9 turn out to be cockerels though because then my ratio would be off. It will be 1:13 hens if it is a cockerel.

I agree with the others

Just an update. You were all correct. I’m 99% positive he is a cockerel. Coloring coming in beautifully. He’s a sweet guy so far.
