Hi! Can anyone tell if my EE chicks are pullets or cockerels? Thanks

Your # 2 picture looks like a pullet but you other chicks I need some close up pictures of the tail feathers .

Oh thank you!  I chose her because of how she had such a stark contrast with her dark eyeliner and then very light body with the dark chipmunk stripes.  Of course, like all EE, I can't predict how she'll feather out.  But she is very purrrrrdy at the moment.  

Yes she is! I love all of her dark markings it does look like eyeliner! Maybe she will be the diva of the flock

Hello all, new this thread. Not the best picture, but here is a picture of my month old chicks, 3 of which are EE. Does this breed tend to be bigger than most others? The other 2 breeds in the picture are Buckeyes and Columbian Wyandott's.

Size on EES are all over the place. Still smaller than any large fowl chicks I have seen though.

This is my easter egger (hen?) Named Big head. I first saw her in the tractor supply bin for meat chickens, and they had the biggest head out of all the chicks there (hence the name), and I just had to have it, so I bought it along with some other chicks. I guess she got mixed in by accident with the others, which now that I think about it was a pretty good mistake cause now I have a pretty, silly little hen <3

Well dangit...my one chicken is a rooster (I posted probably two weeks ago). Well with all the crowing that's going on I was spying yesterday and noticed my big hen with a red comb was crowing also lol... two roosters! The only downside is that the one I assumed was a rooster is colored more appropriately and the friendliest of my flock. Love him so he's no problem at all, but the other one is the least social and more ornery one. So I found a friend at work that's willing to take him. Just funny that I went from 5 hens, to four (because of my one rooster) so I got another hen from a friend so I could still have 5 hens and now I'm back down to four haha... thought that was just a funny little story to share Loving my EE's and loving all the photo's everyone is sharing!

How old is big head? That comb looks very red, if she is under 8 weeks, than she is actually a he.
