10 week old Easter Eggers-pullet or roo?

[kthorne36]

Got these out of a new delivery to tractor supply on June 13th. The clerk who assisted me has some knowledge of chickens and helped me select what we thought were girls but I’m getting roo vibes on these two. What are your thoughts?

Well they don’t have red in the shoulders, that’s the only male patterning I know of with them, but I am NOT AN EXPERT of any kind, I just like chickens.

My only roo was an Americana or Easter Egger and his red came in way after I figured out he was a roo. He went to a new home because he was beating up on the others and us

Just doing his rooster thing, we can’t have roosters, but they sure are beautiful.

The combs are small and pale. I think they are both pullets.

I don't see anything that points toward male so my vote is both pullets.

If either develop pointy hackle feathers, along with a brighter comb, they are cockerels. Nothing obvious, at least not yet. It's hard to see pointy hackle feathers on photos, given the coloring present.
Our male EEs were pretty obvious by ten weeks though.

I have more photos taken just now. They both jumped into my lap so tried to get good angles and them to hold still Hedwig is more white on her back she looked like a little barn owl when I brought her home and Uno has more black stripes she had a 1 on her head as a chick

I had one just like that I was convinced for months was a pullet. No red shoulders, small pink comb, virtually no wattles, unconvincing feathering, no crow. Same coloring as these guys. Then one day I saw him in shadow standing on a stump and said, Dang! That's a cockerel! He was a real sleeper, he was! Made a lovely chicken with rice dinner. Let me see if I can find my thread on him.
