Asking about the 2nd EE from the left - small comb, only one that hasn't crowed, doesn't have the swooping tail feather. How do you tell on an EE? Thanks

how to tell... 1. they crow

2. the pointed hackle and saddle feathers. 3. reddness and fullness of the comb. I beleve the one you are talking about is a hen, everyone else looks rooish.
 
I'm not sure which bird you're asking about--is the first bird on the left an ee? What I mean is, are you asking about the second or third bird from the left? The second bird is a roo, and I think the third one is but would really need a better pic. That's a lotta roos in that pic--what a nice testimony for folks who are just sure two roosters will kill each other!
 
Id be guessing shes a he... the red in the wings and yellow orange feathers in the neck and saddle looks just like my boy gray beard, but without a close up It's hard to tell can you get a side shot closer.........and maybe a comb picture boys have 3 rows in the comb usually, some have smaller combs my GB does, my black beard has a huge almost rose comb.......I'll post a picture tomorrow so you can see them. It's amazing that they look so different as roos then when they were chicks hers a couple pics of them before.

I think they were like 8 or 9 weeks in the first set of pics.

I'm seeing pointed saddles/hackles and red shoulders on him. No, he's not as developed as the standing bird at the far left but I believe he's on his way. Your fence looks like a boy's club to me.
