Easter egger, he or she?

10 weeks old. Suspect male but not as obvious as the other I have. Seems to have a 2 row pea comb. Large thick legs and suspicious watchful attitude. But no hackle or saddle feathers.

Rooster, there is red leakage coming through on his back feathers.

Oh, that's mud. We live in VA, red clay abounds here! All the hens have red backs right now where the roosters mount them. These young guys climb all over each other at meal times.

I live in VA too. Isn't the clay great?

Is all of that clay? I feel like some of it isn't. It has a male pattern. I'm saying cockerel.

I think he's a he too, but that is 100 % red dirt. I got 3EEs at a Tractor Supply parking lot chicken swap. All males apparently. I wonder if the seller knew something I didn't! At least the OE I got is a pullet. And too bad the chicks I got from Meyers Poultry in Nov had 2 cockerels out of 20 chicks. And one is a barred rock!!! Easily sexable by the head dot. I knew as soon as I opened the box. No excuse for that IMO.

Here is one of the others, more obviously male.
