Do EE chicks have beards?

[Vwise507]

We just hatched our first backyard flock and we have no clue which rooster was with which hen. But this one chick looks like it has a beard, so EE chicks have beards from the start? We have 3 roosters and 1 is a EE so we knew there was a chance but he’s not a mounty so we weren’t sure how many he fertilized.
