I cannot post pictures on BYC right now. But I have one EE pullet with what I asked was a male or female and was told he was a rooster by people on here. Well I now have a white and blue egg. We're they both from one or two different pullets?

I suggest from 2 different pullets
 
White egg and blue egg means two girls laying . If you only have one ee then your rooster has to be a girl.
 
If SHE is old enough to lay then if it were a HE it would be old enough to crow. Have you seen any roo type behavior like mounting the pullets or crowing or being territorial of the pen and the pullet? Conversely, have you noticed typical behavior of a pullet just starting to lay from him like squatting when you approach and checking out or spending time in the nest boxes?

x2 by now you should be able to tell the difference. Pics would be helpful to confirm but if these are your only 2 chickens you have 2 hens, chickens may lay a lighter or darker egg on different days but not a different color egg.

I posted pictures and was told only a male has a wattle, not female, and it has a wattle. Everyone agreed it was a rooster and said he was a red sex link.
 

I know that thisis not the same breed as yours must be and I know nothing about red sex links but this "RIR" -really a Production Red, as well as the Buff Orp in the background have wattles and are confirmed egg laying hens. Roosters do develop wattles earlier but most hens near lay do finally get them.

Not a single one of my EE have wattles. One is female since she lays the other I was told were female too but this other one that is laying was supposed to be male. So IDK

This is my "rooster" who lays. I had a bunch of people comment that this was a rooster

The bearding of Easter Eggers suppresses the wattle development - clean faced Easter Eggers in both genders do tend to have wattles
