EE pullets. RIGHT?!

Here are pics of my EEs. You can compare these pics as yours get older.

I am almost certain that the second chook is a girl, mostly because of the rounded saddle feathers. I'm not sure about #1. Pretty chickens. I can't wait until next spring. I want some EEs!

#2 is definitely a pullet

I'm not sure on #1 & #3 (the one you're asking for a second opinion on) The sickle feathers are rounded, but it's still early - they shouldn't be pointed yet anyway - it's the combs that makes me wonder - their combs are quite a bit pinker than my EE pullets at that same age.

This is one of my EE pullets at 12 weeks old (2 weeks older than yours and not much pink to her yet)

Same EE at 12 weeks:

This is another EE pullet - she is 16 weeks old in the photo :- light pink comb now.

This pic shows the 12 week old next to the 16 week old EE (12 week old, top right - 16 week old EE pullet, top left):

The pullets posted above are my second set of EE's - I have pictures of the first set of easter eggers at different ages here:

https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=19548-from-chicks-to-pullets-to-hens but... I don't have any photos of them at 10 weeks
 
looking at only feathers i would say both girls... but then i went back and looked again... the first one's comb is awfully red already there...
and someone said thier feathers wouldn't be pointy yet anyway... i can't remeber when i oculd start telling my roo was a roo.. but i do remeber the day his comb changed color.. lol.. they were a kindergarden project, and i had brought them back to the calss so they could see how much they had grown... his comb was fleshy when i dropped him off, and was bright red when i picked him up a couple hours later.. lol...

i love the coloring on those birds though... very pretty
good luck with getting what you want out of them..
