Guess the sex on these EE's!

These two are bossy and fresh. The lighter one I'm suspecting is a Roo, the darker a hen. Any thoughts? In the last picture you can see my 3 w/o GLW Roo (I got him sexed on purpose cause I wanted a Roo!)

Hard to say with that lighting.  Can you get pics that arn't under the heatlamp?  THe first things that give away gender in EEs is the color of the body/wings.

And this is the one I believe is a hen.  I absolutely love her "eyeliner"

cute looks like the one you wanted to be a roo is a roo but hard to tell otherwise

I have 6 chickens! one dog, she is a Coton De Tulear and the smartest doggie alive! I also have several goldfish aproaching seven years old.

99.999% of girls would die if Justin Bieber appeared at their doorstep and asked for a date. If your that 0.0001% Who's wiping blood from your fist, put this in your siggy.

My eldest EE is a total bully. Grrrr... She taught my Wyandotte her crazy feather picking ways.

Your EE looks like a boy though.

I'd say you have a cockerel and a pullet.
