4 Week Old EE Roo?

[mercyme]

I've got a couple of 4 (almost 4 1/2) week old EEs from Meyer. Both are supposed to be pullets but one is getting some darker red on its wings. From what I understand that is typical roo markings, but this extends down its back and up the base of the neck. It looks as though the whole topline may be this color. Does that still mean its a boy?

Here are some pictures (If I can get them to show up)




In the one above you can see the dark red down the center of its back and extending up onto the base of the neck. There is also some dark red in the tail feathers but I didn't get a very good picture of that.



Here is a side by side with the other chick:



And one of the other just because she's pretty

Thanks for the replies

I ask because I want to learn - What's making you guys think male? Color? Comb? Body Shape?

Does an EE pullet ever have that dark red color?
Does the red on EE roos often extend to that large an area of the body?
