EE pullets. RIGHT?!

I've quit going off of saddle feathers unless they're ultra pointy because I've had too many girls trying to trick me into thinking they're roosters that way. I think you have pullets.

Yours has those same rounded saddle looking feathers my EE girl has, so I say pullet, based on what mine looked like before she started laying...

This was her comb (I'll have to figure out exactly how old she was here)...

Just for fun, here is one of her eggs...

EEs are just one of those breeds that can keep you guessing. At first glance I would say pullets but then I would not bet money on it. The second one has tail feathers that are getting a bit curvy for a pullet.
 
I think they're both pullets too. For the one pictured in the last pic, which seems to be the questionable one - pull those wings down and spread her plumage off her saddle and look for bright orange pointy feathers coming in. If they're there, it is a slow maturing roo. If not, it's a pullet.
