EE... boy or girl???

Thanks everyone. I don't want roos but oh well. I'm going to hope the EE's that never come up to me are the hens! Will be keeping my eye on them to see if they crow. Hope I have a few hens in that batch!

EEs are tricky. Both of these look like roos to me. The saddle and tail feathers (a side view picture would help) appear pointed and curved.
 
The two in the pics are definitely cockerels! Pretty boys. Do you have pics of the rest? Because EEs are a mix, I think feathering is a lot of the time more helpful than the comb.
 
The first one's comb looks like a pullet, but that shiney greenish/black tail feather says roo. I have only seen those shiney tail feathers on roos. The 2nd one I would say roo also. That is a big red comb for a pullet. HOwever, unless you see roo tail feathers coming in, I would wait on that one to be sure.
 
Both Roosters!!! They both look like my young roosters. I was hoping for pullets, but both are starting to get that pretty blue shinny feathers. Bummer I really did not want any more roosters.
 
So green shiny tail feathers = roo. Pointy saddle feathers = roo. Got it! I'm going to try to take some pictures of all of them tomorrow early in the am. They are all under the coop staying out of the heat. I have a lot of chickens and it's hard to get them all together. I'm not even sure what I have! I think I keep seeing the same ones.

I was feeding them today and one is a beautiful blue/grey. Didn't see any pointy saddle feathers and she had a little tail and no comb. Hope she's a girl. Very pretty!!!

Well, I have my mission. I think silkies are easier to sex than these guys!
