Hello, what do you think? The dark one "lil" is questionable to me, but these are my first lovelies, so I don't know. Also they are supposed to be Easter Eggers, I'm not so sure.

I myself am new, too, but I have heard that for pea-combed birds, you can sex them by the number of rows of peas they have (the little bumps on their combs)
EEs have pea combs and are often sexed this way.
3 distinct bumps = cockerel, 1 flat row = pullet.




Hope this helps!
As they get older, the cockerels will have sharp pointed saddle and hackle feathers, whereas a hen's will be rounded and soft.

They look like EEs, yes. The three that I can see their faces aren't looking super suspicious for being a cockerel as of now.
 
Thanks everyone! I'm sorry I haven't posted better pictures! I'll take some in the morning. OldCrookedToe, those pictures were very helpful! Thank you!
