EE Roo or Pullets?

[RedIII]

This evening while sitting with the chicks I noticed some different feathers on Owlie. I don't know what they are? They are kinda hard. Any advise would be appreciated.


I am referring to the thin ones in the middle of the back.

To me, they just look like new feathers. I have noticed that mine will get clumps of new feathers like that as they grow. They'll kind of spread out and soften as they mature.

i think they're all girls! My ee rooster started crowing at 12 weeks and he had a different look to him then your hens there.

I have a hen that looks like your pure white one. Puffy cheeks and all! Only mine has tiny black speck around her neck (like a necklace almost) and some larger black marks in her tail. I love chickens!

White one - 99% sure it's a girl
Black/yellow one - 100% sure it's a girl
RIR - looks very boyish, a full body pic would help

The white one has the exact face as my Ameraucana which I just found out a little while ago it is a rooster, I was able to tell by the wattle.. The rest look like girls to me, but I'm not an expert
