I bought as Ameraucana, and now know probably an EE. Just curious as to gender, about 6 or 7 weeks.

Greetings! Welcome to BYC!
EEs are very difficult to sex by photograph because they don't have sizeable comb development. I might be able to tell from a pic of the way he/she stands - but you may be able to determine better than I because you can watch for certain behaviors. Little cockerels tend to stand more erect. They also tend to be more social and outgoing than pullets. There are always exceptions to the rule, but generally speaking, those are some of the signs for which to look!! Cute little flock! :)
 
Yes, it is an EE.

Nothing screaming rooster yet, but the black white pattern is often male in the EE world.

Watch for color blocks rather than even patterns. The roosters have patchwork color blocks while the females will have an even pattern.

Also males almost always have 3 pea rows while the girls have a main pea row down the middle with 2 smaller side rows.

It's too early for this guy, and the white blotches on the wing bows give me a bit of pause.

Post again in a couple of weeks.

Right now it looks female, but I am unsure. I know the gold and black ones are female, because they are just that color.
