Easter Egger club!

I already posted this on the other EE thread, but thought maybe I get better answers here.

They are going to be 4 weeks old in 4 days and I really would like to know sex.
Ana is bigger, heavier, has thicker legs, bigger redder comb, and stands up really straight when frightened. I think Ana is a boy, but I just want to make sure. I think both Ana and Elsa have some Ameraucana in them.
Here's Ana.





And here's Elsa. She's smaller, lighter, has a smaller comb with no red and has saller legs (i think).







A good shot of her beard.



Them together. Do you notice any difference in their legs?

The first one is a cockerel . Comb and black breast say so. The second one is a pullet .

Great pictures of Ana's comb. You're a pro! He is definitely a boy.

Thanks! Though most of my pro-ness was learned by doing this same guessing game with my Silkie! Lol
I don't think I'm that good. I just try not to make them blurry!

I just bought 2 "amerucana" chicks today at my local feed store. The research I have fines says the most of the time unless bought from a breeder if you by chicks from a hatchery sold as amerucana you are really prob getting Easter eggers. That's fine with me. They are going on 1 week and are fluffy faced fur balls and I'm in love. My phone want upload the pics I took of them but they total cuties!!!! Very sweet little girls and love to snuggle and sleep on you! Any ways to tell if I got true amerucana or (EE)'s?

I have a good update on the saga of the egg-eating flock! I started them on oyster shell a few days after I caught them eating the Speckled Sussex's soft egg. She laid another soft egg in front of me about two days after that. Since then, I have found four small but very hard shelled eggs in the coop. I'm not sure who has been laying them. I assume Lemongrab (the sussex) is responsible for at least some, since she's the only one I know for sure is laying, but I found two eggs in there today, and I check every day, so I think somebody else has started. Three of the eggs have been brown, and one was an odd patchy beige and brown with darker brown speckles. All had much harder shells than the typical grocery store egg, and nice, orangey yolks, so I'm guessing they're getting the right nutrients now. I keep hoping to find a blue or green egg from Fish Sandwich the EE, but nothing of the sort yet. I have no way of knowing if she laid any of the eggs I've found or not.

Ok, I have to know where did the name Fish Sandwich come from?

My boyfriend just has a very bizarre sense of humor. He refers to all food as either nachos, or fish sandwich. So he doesn't say he wants lunch, or a snack, or whatever, he says he wants fish sandwich. It's been a running joke for years. So when I named my chick Tater Tot, he named his Fish Sandwich.

95% percent they are Easter eggers. If they have a chipmunk stripe or they all look uniquely colored they are Easter eggers.
