Do Rust patches on Easter Eggers guarantee the chicken to be a cockerel?

I have a mixed flock of 5. So far two of my 5 ‘pullets’ are showing undeniable signs of being cockerels. Large red combs/waddles and size for 4.5-5 weeks old. Now I am completely paranoid about my other birds ending up being roos. I can’t have roosters unfortunately. My EE’s feathers are starting to come in and I am noticing rust color patches coming through. Is that a guaranteed cockerel? I have some photos of (hopefully) her, although I know she is still too young to be sure. She is about 4.5 weeks. Just my luck all my ‘pullets’will end up being cockerels!😵 Anyone have hen EE with rust patches?
