I think its a she, roos should start to crow at 8 weeks and my EEs are also aggressive

Two of my boys are 18 weeks and still haven't crowed, despite having saddle feathers. My 11 month old easter egger pullet was ssssoooooo mean for most of her first year. But she's calming down now.

Cockerels usually don't start crowing at 8 weeks, it can take 7+ months for some.

Is the chick with a gray beard a male?
age is six and a half weeks.

Possibly, going off the patchy red I think I see on his shoulders. Could you post a side profile picture without the others in the way?

Here are two pictures with the chick? forgot to mention... father is pure wheaten, mother is a regular hatchery easter egger

While we're at it, could you tell me if you think the white-ish one is also a boy? father is pure wheaten, mother is splash.

Pretty sure both are boys.

They both look like boys. That young with such bright combs...

Sorry this took so long for me to respond, I think it got forgotten in my subs.

I'm actually leaning towards all of them being pullets, only one I have a little doubt on is the first. But even he looks female, no comb or anything.
