Can you identify this breed?

[Ol Grey Mare]

Alright, I've zoomed in on the hackles of both birds. They are obviously pointed.

I've blasted through a million cockerels at this point, EE included, and know them when I see them.
I've even been correct from as early as 1 day (not sex linked). For 3 years, I've gotten 95% correct.

Feathers shown are not remotely pointed in the way malecfeatheting would be. These are very normal female EE hackle feathers with pattern and "drapiness" giving an appearance of male feathering to some eyes. All other characteristics (plumage pattern, comb, etc.) are all female

What about the huge frame and thick legs?
Their breed makeup is unknown, so it is possible that their coloration doesn't present with typical male coloring.

Thick-legged females with large frames and upright stature occur often. Pictured below are an Easter Egger and Ameraucana featuring said traits.

As you can see, her legs appeared slightly thicker than the Lav Orp cockerel.

Alexandra33.. Not sure if all of those are your birds, but they are gorgeous. Our Easter Egger hen was the most annoying as a chick. I vowed to not get them again. Lol She has since stolen my heart now that she’s matured some. So comical. She often jumps on my back or shoulder to get closer to me. Would love these two to be pullets too.

Thank you so much....they are all my birds.

Sounds like they're mischievously fun!

Any updates?

Well, nothing new to report. They are holding the same as they were a few weeks ago. I think we are exactly 18 weeks now. I’m calling pullets, though I still wonder about the one with a redder face because of red and more feathers on side (but not pointed). No comb changes. I was going to wait for eggs to repost but those are probably another ten weeks out.

There were some heated opinions on here and I appreciate all of them. I’ve never had an Easter Egger cockerel so couldn’t compare, even though these may only be half EE.

If they look exactly the same as they did a month ago, you have beautiful pullets. By 18 weeks, cockerels sport prominent combs, and obvious, undoubted pointed plumage. Crowing, too, in most individuals. One doesn't need an egg to prove gender, unless we're talking about Silkies.

Thanks for the update!
