3-4 month old Easter Eggers - sex ID help please!

I also ordered Easter egger pullets. These 2 I am not sure they are ladies. Can you give me your opinions? Hatched 4/2 so they are 14-15 weeks I believe.

The second one is a pullet. I need a picture of the first one's saddle feathers to confirm, though I'm pretty sure it's a cockerel.

I will get pictures of her (i hope) side when I get home. I was thinking the first one is a roo and second a pullet as well. Thank you!

You were right to be suspect! Those 2 are boys. If you bought them as girls, I would contact the seller and ask for your money back. EE's can be difficult to sex and this is why I never sell mine as sexed until I know for sure.

Here are some more pictures of the first one. That I think is probably a boy.

This is the other one I am still hoping is a pullet. 99% sure the other 3 Easter eggers and the Orpingtons from the same order are all pullets.

I have heard this. Bought them as day old chicks so not surprised there may be an error or 2.

The first one is 100% a cockerel, but I am still sure that the second is a pullet. She has no pointed saddle feathers and her coloration is typical of easter egger hens.

It is impossible to sex Easter Eggers as day olds. Unless the seller was trained to vent sex through a hatchery. In my experience anyways, it is impossible to sex so young and although people claim certain things can determine sex, I've not seen any of them work reliably. If the seller was selling them as sexed day olds I would definitely complain as that sounds like a rip off to me.
