I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all of the Easter Eggers in your photos are cockerels with the possible exception of the EE in the lower left hand corner of the top pic. The coloring looks right for a female but I can't see the comb to make a positive gender identification on it.

I agree. The only pullet is the gold and black one.

Male saddle feathers are very long, very thin, and very shiny. They start developing at about 10 weeks old, but aren't visible usually until after 12 weeks. Yours are a bit young for male saddle feathers to be obvious. Here is a shot of my Easter Egger cockerel when his male saddle feathers were just starting to come in. You can see them just peeking out from under the feathers on the back just before the base of the tail. He was about 12 weeks old.

Here he is at 18 weeks old. His saddle feathers are very obvious and very masculine.

This one is definitely a pullet.
