Can you sex my Easter Eggers?

These 2 lavender Easter Eggers are around 7 weeks old. What do you think? Pullet or cockerel? They of course didn't cooperate!

It's a bit early and the photos don't help much (I know what wild chicks can be like haha!) but they don't look like obvious cockerels so I think you're good for now! Update us in a few weeks : D

From what I can tell in the photos provided they look female.

Lol.. I was like, stay still! Thanks for the reply. I don't see any obvious signs myself but they're little Houdinis. I'll update in a few weeks. It's so funny how these two were spitting images of my other 2 Lavenders and are looking so different than my bigger girls!

Lol, thanks! They were literally flitting alllll over their enclosure (obviously because I was TRYING to take pics)

May want to handle them more, offer mealworms in your hands, get used to you being near them.......mine were curious of what I was doing (taking pics), not being flighty at all. The pullets are a little less friendly, cockerels have that "I'm your new best friend" type attitudes lol

Of course it was my intention to handle them daily and I WAS good for a while however at the moment their new enclosure is a bit tricky to enter but I'll make a concerted effort to be more hands on, thanks! My previous year's pullets are leghorns and wanted zero to do with me (although they do eat mealworms from my hand now). I fear we have a coccidiosis outbreak going on so I'll be in there ALOT.
