Easter Egger Pullet or Cockerel?

[Forget-me-not]

We got these Easter Eggers as sexed females at Tractor Supply. They’re almost 8 weeks old. We think they might be roosters because they’re so big (fat necks, big feet, etc) but I don’t know if that’s normal for whatever breeds they’re mixed with

@Overo Mare not sure about first, second one looks like pullet to me

First one might be a cockerel but it's too early, the others have female coloring. They have fat necks because they're bearded, it's not remotely an indication of gender, neither are feet.

I was hoping they’d be bearded! It’s great to know that’s the reason for the extra fluffiness. Thanks!

First looks like a pullet. Second is a for sure pullet.

The first two photos are of one bird, the second two are of another. Do you think the photo of the first bird’s back is female coloring?

The first one I am on the fence about. It has a pretty well developed comb and pointy feathers. EEs are a mix of other breeds with Ameraucana among them so it can be a challenge to tell this early. I have one.5 month old EE pullet with pointier neck and saddle feathers than some of the other EE cockerels purchased at the same time.

The second of your chicks is definitely female.

Note that many female chicks are larger than males in the first couple months, then slow down while the males continue to grow (like human children).
