Gender?

For comparison, here is my white Easter Egger hen. First pic is at 15 weeks, second at 23 weeks.
Her eggs are a well-saturated mint green with a sheen to them.
All the pictures I've seen of white Easter Eggers look strikingly similar in body shape, without the heavy/fluffy neck of the brown ones. If that makes sense.
Oddly enough, the hatchery she's from still labels them "Araucanas," clearly in error. The feed shop sold her to me as an ISA Brown (red sex link).
I'm really glad she's an Easter Egger.

Pretty girl!! Mine looks like her comb is a tad bigger and shes only 8 weeks. She looks big or same size as yours at 15 weeks. I know the lady I got her from hatches her chicks at home and she told me they were 5 wks 1 day when i got them. So im pretty sure of age. Im crossing fingers she's a hen. Cant believe i have to return my 2 RIRs. Lucky my chicken lady is letting me trade!

My two white EEs have nice fluffy beards and are full just like the brown ones I have. Your girl appears to be more tight feathered than mine.
Here is one of my two girls at 12 weeks old.


and again @ 9 or 10 months.

And my girls all lay blue eggs.

She is fluffy..looks just like my brown one we call Hawk. Eggs are pretty! Its torture waiting on the first egg!!!
 
I have been watching my solid white EE close and ive noticed he/she is very aggressive, mainly when i bring a treat to them. He/she practically flies up in my arms and pecks away at the food. Also when i pick it up its feet stretch way out. So, does this sound rooish? Do EEs have solid white roos?

over half of my chickens fly up on me when i feed or bring treats out and is not aggression they are just meeting me waiting for their treats
 
His it trying to attack you or get the food?
My turkey tom is tall enough to snatch stuff out of my hands (and pockets) if Im not paying attention. He is not aggressive though, he eats out of my hand.
 
This is my first batch of chickens so it was a little scary when the white one flew at me. I guess its more for the food. Its the only one that does this. Thanks for the info!
 
My white EE pullet "Zelda" is pretty feisty that way too. Even though she's the smallest, I swear she rules the roost and leads the charge when I go out with treats for the flock. Zelda's eggs are a beautiful mint green color.
