In another week or two we should be able to tell when the feathers are in fully.The brown guy does appear patchy, but it could just be new feather growth! Same with the other. Much easier to tell when they get their “grownup” patterns!
The hackle feathers look pointy in pic 2, but EE are tricky. I have one laying hen with pretty pointy hackles. I asked 3 times on here if people were sure she was a pullet. Lays a beautiful teal egg now! Lol I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you but leaning cockerel on that one.
I don’t see cockerel in first pic. Don’t like the tiny bit of red around the far bottom chicks neck but that doesn’t mean cockerel 100%. Curious of what others think!
