Easter eggers... 2 weeks old pullets or cockerels?

Thank you all so much!

Update at 10 weeks...The red one I’m pretty sure is a a pullet as everyone has said. The white one- most have said cockerel- do y’all agree?

*the white one has a dressing bc of a possible sprained ankle*

x2. A face photo and side-with-tail photo of the brown one would help. White's a cockerel. And eek, why do you think his foot's purple? "Get well soon" to him

There is blukote on his foot that’s why it looks purple

Thank you, fingers crossed. I tried my best to combine a few tricks to at least give myself the best chances of them being both pullets

Chick 1 updates... chick 2 as well. Any thoughts? Chick 2 is the lighter one @Missythechickenlady

Better comb pics for both?

It may still be too early. If you're on Facebook, you could post on
Pullet or Cockerel?! Easter Egger Chicken Gender Gurus! Beware, because that page is addictive. Would be good to get a picture of the light one's back feathers when it's not doing that happy, sleepy, fluffy thing

The red one looks like a Cream Legbar mix (I so wanted my EEs to have those little crests!), and the comb always throws me on those, so I would be of zero help there.

The light one is tough, too. The feathering does sort of have a pattern, which would indicate pullet. Males are more blotchy and often have rust-colored spots on their shoulders. But that's a big comb for 7 weeks. Does it ever turn really red?

I have a sexed-as-a-pullet EE cockerel the same age as your EEs. This was taken yesterday--he's on the left, obviously--and you can see how red his comb is, and not just when he's trying to look tough in front of an older bird. It started turning red at 4 weeks.
