EE sexing help!

[teacherlady79]

Hi! I have 2 EEs from a local farmer with different types of combs, and I'm struggling to sex them. They are around 6-7ish weeks and both black & white.

#1 has a pea comb, is slightly smaller and had more down on it when I got them a couple weeks ago, so might be a week younger. The pea comb has three rows, but it isn't super pink and the wattles aren't terribly obvious yet. I've read that a 3 row pea comb means cockerel, but I've also seen others say that's not necessarily the case.

#2 appears to have a straight comb, starting to pink up. Also has visible pink wattles. When I look at the feathers, I feel like I'm looking at some pointed (male) saddle feathers coming in, but I'm not really sure because I have no idea what I'm doing, truth be told.

Here is #1

And here is #2

Help!?

Both are boys. The white ones in the last picture are too.

Help!?

Both are male, as is the White Leghorn in the final photo.

Yeah, 3 out of 4 of my leghorns are male, I'm trying to rehome them with no luck.
I was hoping at least one of these EEs is a pullet.

Agreed, cockerels. Your two White Leghorns in the last photo (the bird closest and the one behind it) are cockerels too.

Both are cockerels.

 

[Skyle]
