That explains all the boys. So sorry. I picked a boy from the pullet bin this year. I exchanged him this past week for a girl before it was too late.

100% a cockerel. In the 1st picture you can already see his hackle feathers coming in. His comb is to pink to be a pullet.

in the group picture, the only pullet I see is the dark headed one 3 in. Can't tell on the blurry one. The last picture is of a cockerel as well, look how large and pink the comb is. Pullets would have still dark/yellow combs that are tiny.

I took a good look at her this am and her comb isnt pink at all... and I heard the hackles can be in both male and female ee... or maybe i really want as many girls as possible.....

Hackles in EE's can be really deceiving.  They can look really pointy based on the coloring, but when you look at them with a piece of paper up under a couple of feathers you can see that there is more feather that isn't readily visible because it's very light colored.  So what looks like a pointy hackle feather is actually a rounded feather.

 

In the picture with the 4 of them in it, I'd guess the three on the right are pullets.  I've got pullets exactly those colors right now, and I don't see any comb development on those three.  The one on the left, by the comb, I'd guess cockerel.

 

Of my twelve EE's that I recently ordered from a hatchery as pullets, I got one with a crooked beak and three cockerels.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.  Sorry about all your boys.  Are you up to butchering?  Or just going to re-home?
