We hatched out 19 chicks from our Rooster, Zeke crossed with our hens. So they are all crossbred easter eggers, about a month or two old, all are feathered out and growing combs. We have been looking at saddles/hackles, and we think many are hens. Have 3 iffy's. Here are some pix:

Pretty sorrel XBred (This is the same one as the last photo)



White/Light EE.





And this last one the Saddles/Hackles really tell me hen but I want a second opinion.


Any help would be appreciated! These are just to renew the layer flock. :)
 
Given their age, and the size and color of their combs and plumage, every bird pictured looks like a male to me.
Their saddles and hackles will do nothing for you at this point. They're not done with their juvenile molts yet, and their feathers will change drastically before they're mature.
They're all lovely. I especially like that white EE with the black beard, he's quite handsome!
