Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

A few questions here.....
WAs looking at the description of the sex link on EEs to tell a male or not. I have a lavender Amercauna roo that crossed with my LIght Brahma hens and maybe one Buff Orpington or splash Orp hen(not sure the splash was laying at that time of egg collection )

The chicks a week old now were mostly lavender just like a true LAM but .2 were yellow with black dot on a couple places. and feathered legs so SURE those 2 are the LB hens chicks
BUT..NOne of the lav chicks have the feathered legs.Look indentical to a full LAMs chick so far..1 week old

Will all part Brahmas have feathered legs?

Ive read a cross of a pure Amercauna roo /hen with any other breed is considered an EE.True?
If so would the sex link of reds or white on hackles back etc hold true on my lavenders if the roo is all silver?

Hi All! I was hoping to get some opinions on my light colored Easter Egger pictured here at 10 weeks. I have read through almost this entire thread hoping to be able to tell if this Easter Egger is a pullet or roo. I am still not sure. I would love to know what you think. It is the light colored one in the photos below:












Thanks!
I LOVE LOVE the color!!!!!! SO PRETTY.....looks like a hen to me but im no expert on EEs That comb could change yet I guess but its shape is like a hen too .
 
His previous pictures were so girly!!
I know. I expected a girl, too, and he changed my mind in one week.

These are our very first chicks. We bought them a local hatchery as Ameraucana's, I now know better. Anyway, they are about 5-6 weeks old now and I am wondering about their sex. Any ideas yet? Or am I too soon? The light one is Chiquita, the gray one is Ginger (fingers crossed)

interested in the answer to this one too! one of my chicks came from a rir roo, and an Americauna hen so I am double checking that that mix qualifies mine as an ee!
