EE with no muffs?

[ClucksAndCombs]

Hello!

My family got six Americanas (really easter eggers) day-olds 8 weeks ago. One of them, who we call Jasmine had muffs and beards, but none of them else did. Later, two other chicks got muffs, Leia and Jessie.
We still have three chicks with no muffs, which is a little strange. For a while, we thought it meant they were cockerels, but all have round feathers and no red on their tiny combs. (Hoping for pullets!)

Does it mean they are cockerels? Will these chicks get muffs in the future? Or will they be muff-less (haha)? We do have three 3-year-old EE hens, all with muffs, so this is new.

Thank you!

Not all EEs will have muffs, some are crossed with predominant no muffs breed. I got 6 EEs that lays different shades of green and pastel blue, 2 of them does not have muffs at all and their the friendliest that lays pastel blue eggs.

Muffs have nothing to do with gender. It's just a reflection of the breeds that might have gone into their breeding.
