ee sexing thread...(pics only please)

I'm new to EE and need help.. This is Maggie @ 7 wks old. Being a little camera shy

Pullet or cockerel? Thank you!!

The feathers are looking feminine but the pink in the comb would worry me. Was she stressed out by the photo shoot (I find the combs pink up more with stress and excitement and can fool me for a little while until I look at it over time).

Here are some pics of my EE "Blondie". She is about 7 or 8 weeks old. I don't know for sure if she is a pullet or roo...Any thoughts?

I didn't keep him, but I didn't eat him, either. I was looking at chicks at TSC one day (because I have to look, you know) and started talking to a guy who was thinking he wanted straight-run birds because he wanted a rooster, but TSC didn't have straight run of the varieties he wanted. I told him that I'd give him a rooster when he wanted one, and gave him my card. Never thought I'd see that guy again.

Well, he did call me and that boy was the one they picked out of the meat pen to take home. He did turn out to be lovely, all red on top with a strong blue tail and belly.

He's a pretty one.

I picked my keeper based on his eyebrows.

I got this EE pullet 7 weeks ago.

A week later I got this EE SR

The pullets legs are thinner than the SR's but the pullet seems to have the 3 ridge pea comb. I'm sure the SR is male. Is the the pullet I bought also? I got them both from a feed store. They are a week a part in age. SR younger then the pullet. The ridges are much larger on the SR than the pullet also.
