Hen or Roo? I think I already know...

I just got myself four Easter Eggers who are about 10-11 weeks old.

Question is, which gender is this one?
(Three pics are all of same chicken):

Recognizably larger than the others and seems to have a lot of behaviors that lead me to think it's a rooster.

Thoughts?

OMG....do you have a frizzle EE????????????

Ummm.......those don''t look at all like EE's to me. Gorgeous chickens!!!!

Yes, one is a frizzle. Um... and I was 'told' that they were bantam EE's and/or Americauanas.

Look like they have some silkie in them...

I was just going by the dark (black?) skin and the single combs (which I know EE's can have since they are mixed). I really like EE's and think they are beautiful but these are really just prettier (and different) than most EE's I have seen. That frizzle is just stunning!!!!

Yes, I noticed that... silkies have "mulberry" skin- so cute! EEs don't usually have puffy hair-doo's. What unusual frizzling!

Often being 'told' it's an Auracana/Ameracana means "nope, it's something else (usually an EE, your case is unusual...) but I'm selling it to you as an Auracana."

If those are EEs, I want some! They are absolutely adorable. What fun!

I have a few EEs, all look different. Two are REALLY ugly--their names are TurkeyBird and Ugg. They look like different kinds of chickens with different colorings were stuck together into one bird. TurkeyBird has a black neck, white wings and a speckled body.

I guess you won't know if they are really EEs until they begin to lay eggs, since the definition of an EE is basically any layer of colored eggs.

They are definitely not Araucanas or Ameraucanas, though.

I'll need to take some better photos of the group to get a better idea of what these are. They all have feathered, blue-skinned legs and the best part of all was the cost... FREE. Found them listed on Craigslist, evidently they were hatched as an elementary school project.
