O.k. now I'm curious. After spend some time catching up on BYC now I'm wondering if one of my Easter Eggers is a roo! Reading on some other threads about coloring of EE's. My 2 EE's are gorgeous but completely different in coloring. One is almost completely black with reddish brown "spots". The other is reddish brown around the head and neck and the body is darker.
Now ya'll have me wondering if the black one is a roo?

EE's hanging out with a Cuckoo Maran!
 
I'm not great at figuring out sex. I have a 4 month old brahma I suspect is a roo but still don't know. But both of yours look like pullets. The cool thing about Easter eggers is that they come is various colors. The color of the chicken wouldn't decide the gender (unless it's a sex link like the production chickens) we have a handful of Easter eggers and they're white, grey and many shades of brown. Yours are beautiful! Especially the black one- I haven't seen one that color yet :)
 
How old are they? I think EE number 2 is a pullet and I think your suspicions may be correct with your mainly black one #2. Give it a couple more weeks.. They still look young. That is my educated guess.
