Hi I am new to chickens and have gotten me 3 easter eggers and 7 silkies from the feed store. I have been watching sexing threads on easter eggers and have been playing the guessing game with these guys so I thought I would post pics and see what you guys thought =)

How old are they?
4 Weeks? Maybe... Im new to this and the girl at the feed store told me they were 3 weeks older then my silkies which I bought 3 weeks ago so there is no way they are 7-8 weeks old from other posts on easter eggers
 
It's early to tell, but I would make an educated guess that all are pullets right now. They all, including the white, look to be coming in with salmon-tinted breast feathering, which is usually gender-specific. I'd post again in a couple of weeks to be certain.

Hufflepuff seems to be the only one not coming in very reddish.(the other two are alot more noticeable) I didn't know if the red meant cockerel or pullet
