Easter Egger gender: one of these things is not like the other

I am a complete newbee on the whole breed/sex thing (my chicks are only a couple of weeks), but i just wanted to say that 'honey' is such a stunner!

They are all pullets

Here are three of my EE's - the middle is a cockerel, outer two are pullets. They have that notable pullet pattern. A boy would not have that colouring.

They all look like girls so far to me.

I'm guessing all three are girls by their coloring.

Awesome! Thanks everybody. I'm torn though. I bought twelve chickens from a local hatchery assuming at least one would end up a rooster. I was worried at first but then I warmed up to the idea of having a rooster around. But now it's really looking like I have twelve pullets, who knew??? I'm not complaining though and I might end up adopting one anyway and seeing how that goes so it's probably just as well.

I think Sandy looks like a cockerel in your most recent pictures.

I'm questioning Sandy more every day (bottom pic). She's developed a very curly tail and is a very substantial/stocky bird. And there's Chip again with her beautiful gradation from orange to black and deep rust.

I think Sandy is a girl, I've never seen a roo that golden color.
Yes, I've seen curly tails on the female EE's.

I think she still looks like a girl. I was still questioning my EE who is 13 weeks now but everyone says shes a girls she has kind of a curl to her tail feathers also. Here is her mopst recent pic
