Here are our maybe roosters, I have 4 head shots and took some more of them walking since tail feathers are usually a sure sign (which I as a newbie am struggling with). Chicks born 03/31/15, all Easter Eggers. Thanks in advance for your aid!!!
I think the head looks like a straight up rooster but the tail feathers are not rooster like. What is our Flappy, boy or girl?


Sabine

This one is straight rooster, I can tell clearly by tail feathers (far right in second photo) Sabine is a boy (with a girls name).
Bossy Beatrice

This is Bossy Beatrice, she is another one that has us stumped, head looks like rooster, body hen. Is Beatrice a boy?
Sugar


Sugar is front and center here I am not 100% sure on her but she looks more rooster on tail, hen on head...See I am struggling!!!
 
They are gorgeous birds!

I'm not an expert, but I have to say, almost all of the pictures seem to show roosters. Four and five are the only two that I'm not sure about.

Best of luck with them!
 
Flappy is a handsome boy. He may not have the pronounced tail feathers yet (called sickle feathers), but he has the pointy neck or hackle feathers and the longer pointy saddle feathers at the base of his back which indicate he is male. Beatrice and Sugar look like males, too along with Sabine.
