Does anyone have an inkling on my EE gender?

4 weeks as of yesterday! I know that it’s hard to tell until maybe 4 or so more weeks and even harder for EE, so longer.. She’s a green queen from MyPetChicken. Just wanted to start the process of finding someone once they mature, as my buff is a male and we only have 3 other (hopefully) females. The green queen is the biggest of the bunch. Thank you!

On a side note, my buff male is SUCH a cool dude! He’s always jumping on me and is hyper as all heck. He steals treats from me and runs away. We aren’t allowed to have roosters but I love him so much I might make him an indoor pet.

He is a dude, and buffs behavior is not a good indication of things to come, all of those things are red flags.

What are the red flags and what should be green flags?

jumping on/ riding on you. often leads to aggression.
being bold (he's not being friendly), typically leads to aggression. In the hierarchy of a flock, the lower members give higher members better treatment and higher perches.
being greedy about food, doesn't lean well into being a good flock leader. Also van lead to aggression.

keeping his distance, respecting your space and not bogarting the treats.

Ah, what a bummer. Thank you for the info. The EE male shows all green flags so I may keep him instead.
