5 week old EE (?) - little girls or little boys?

[MissAbbyStreet]

Got this little bitties straight run from the farm service, and am praying they are all little girls :] I've only ever had sexlink Comets before, so this is a real challenge for me!
*I tried to get face pictures (including combs), but alas my camera/chicks would not cooperate!

i believe they are all 3 pullets. i don't think they are pure EE. i know EE is a mute to begin with, but the "standard EE" is basically an Americana of a non-standard color.

They look like little girls to me. Plus, I think there's more RIR than EE in 'em.

Don't take my word as gospel, I'm pretty new at this too.

[MissAbbyStreet]

#1--I'd want to see the comb better. In my limited experience the girls seem to have almost non existent combs for awhile. And is the tail a bit longer/straighter than the 2nd one? That was an early difference with my 2. This one looks like you can see it, but that if might be very yellow?
#2--Looks very girly, that color seems to always be pullet.
#3--Looks like my RSL, but either way looks very pullet to me.

My EEs were supposed to be both pullets but went roo, it became really obvious between 6 and 7 weeks.

No, this isn't really true. And EE can be descended of an Ameraucana or an Araucana - both are pure bred blue egg layers. Since they are mutts, they can look like anything, be any color, etc. Most usually, EEs are a cross of a pure bred blue egger between any other breed - not a non-standard true Ameraucana. Although, without any conformation from external appearances there is no real way to know if your bird is an EE if you do not know its lineage.

Although, to me, the second one does not appear to be an EE. The first one does have green legs. They look feminine to me.
