They look like they have eyeliner on! I have two, I would say they are the prettiest chickens, friendly not so much! I think one of mine might be a rooster! We'll see......

Well I'm very new to this chicken business - my babies are only 5 weeks old - But my easter egger has a significantly different temperament than you've described. She's extremely loving, but also somewhat shy. She's very hard to get pictures of. She is the most needy out of any of my chicks, and has been extremely difficult to wean off of me, so to speak. Whenever I leave her alone to long she screams very loudly until I come out into the coop and then she runs over and sleeps on my legs until I get to tired of sitting in there. She is absolutely the baby of the bunch. As for the aggressive thing, my little Cheeks doesn't seem to stay with the other chicks much at all, except maybe my silkie. She's very shy of them even though they were raised together. She's pretty much opposite of yours!
I can't wait to see what she will look like! Her colors are just starting to come in around her neck - pretty goldish feathers with black in them! So excited!
Here are some pics to go along with everyone else's!
I borrowed some EE eggs from a friend so my broody could try hatching a raising chicks. I haven't named any of these because I have plans for them to go to a new home as soon as their coop is built and Mama hen decides she is finished raising them. I'm desperately trying to not get too attached! We're enjoying them, but I'm finding it a very different experience to have broody raised chicks compared to raising them myself in the house.
At 2 days - sadly, we lost one of the little silvers the next day. Got stepped on or smothered by the broody...
