Yep, that's a boy. It must be the year of the red-based columbian roosters. I've seen several posted this year, and I wound up with one too.

What is a red based columbian rooster?? Not an easter egger?
(Sorry, new to the lingo)

And here is #4 whom i am almost certain is a pullet

1chickymama, except for Lucas, all your birds appear to be pullets.

Columbian is the color pattern where you see black lacing patterns, particularly in the hackle/back of the neck and usually black in the tail, too. This guy is red based because his main plumage color is red.
Easter Eggers can have many color types, depending on your breeding lines. This forum is my favorite because we get to see everyone's EEs and they are all so different.

It's a color and pattern, not a breed.

Ooops. Sorry about that.
Thank you for the clarification
