hi everyone! Hoping to hear some opinions. We hatched two Easter ethers. Pretty sure the gray one is a cockerel (three distinct rows pea comb). The yellow one's comb looks different, but the red and posture makes me doubt it's a girl as well :( we can't keep a rooster, so I was really hoping for a miracle. Any ideas so far? They were born June 8, so almost a month old. Thank you so much in advance!!

I cant tell, yet. But I will say your pale EE looks a lot like my EE Roo. He's about 4-5 weeks in my profile picture. You can't tell but he also has the red on his shoulders, which is supposed to be sex-linked.

Thank you!! They do look similar :) It's the comb that makes me doubt.
 
First is a cockerel. Second might be, but not 100% sure. Please update.
Thank you so much! Last year we one of our easter egger pullets unexpectedly for us turned out to be a handsome cockerel (I even had his DNA tested ). This time I thought I was pretty experienced to tell the sex. But the pale one's comb makes me still hope it might be a girl. I will definitely keep this thread updated when we find out!
