Sexing Easter Eggers

I ask because both your Production Red chick and the Buff chick have a darker shade of color on their wings/shoulder area. That's one early indicator of cockerels in red/gold breeds.

My other 2 have very pale yellow combs, the buff is flat and the red (was told it is a Red Cross?) her's is pointy but yellow.

how do I know if my EE wont turn out like this female above? she has a 3 row pea comb that's pretty dark color? Don't want to act quickly

Because the comb is turning pink already. Pullets don't start to pink up in the combs until they are getting close to laying age.

They look very girly to me!

Can you tell me how old the pullet is in the bottom photo?

How old are they? I bought 2 chicks from a bird store last year, I was told they were hens. Both turned out to be roos...

That comb is too pink, too early. It's a boy.

I've been worried that one or both of my chicks are Roos since 4 weeks. They are now about 6 weeks. Neither have yellow combs. The red/brown one is approx. 3 days older, she is looking and acting more ladylike. She's very timid but sweet and she's developing more of a hen like body, tail and feather pattern. The lighter one has become very dominant and likes to chase and jump on the brown one. It has even tried to challenge my much larger, year old hens. It's feather color, splotchy coloring, pointy tail and aggressive attitude all scream rooster to me. I just wanted to see if I may be wrong before attempting to rehome. What to you guys think? I hope they're not both Roos.
