Breed/gender unknown?!

I had posted these on an Easter egger thread but was told might be better to create my own for some help.

I got these 4 chicks at TSC in the Easter egger straight run bin. I knew odds were some could be pullets and some could be cockerel or even miss labeled. Someone had mentioned only one may be an Easter egger and the other three weren't, so if anyone could help with breed identification and sex, that would be fantastic. They are roughly 3 weeks old.

Chick #1 (potential EE/pullet)

Btw, comparing them to my EEs that are about 6 weeks, they all look like ladies except #2 looks a little questionable. Its still early tho. At 5 weeks one of mine popped a comb and waddles out of no where. Lol. I am sorry, i cant help with the breed.

Chick #3 looks like my cinnamon queen I got from TSC and chick #4 looks like my production red I got from TSC.

Too young to tell breed or gender but I agree that their are no Easter Eggers. Easter eggers should have muffs.

Not all EEs have muffs. They look the part to me

So chick #2 is more than likely a roo, it's been 10 days since I've made the post and his comb got alot bigger and more red than the others whom are still small and yellow. Also I can see his waddles starting to come in.

Muffs are considered a breed trait for Easter eggers. Yours sound like EE crosses but most EEs are mutts too begin with though.

All EE are mutts because they're not a recognized breed, therefore no breed standard. Different comb types, leg colors, feather colors, muffs, no muffs, beards, no beards etc.

The second ones comb is suspicious... repost pics when they are 6-8 weeks old.

I have an EE without a beard.

I see 3 pullets and one cockerel, but that’s just an educated guess. How old are they? They are very pretty.

Which one do you think is a roo?
