OK, just saw the new pictures. How do they know when you want a nice clear shot of their heads NOT moving so they MOVE!? So of course no guesses based either on 1 row vs 3 or color. I've had young EE pullets with combs that looked a bit wide or redder than others at the same age but they all eventually laid eggs.
The black and red one looks to have some pretty consistent color patterning which I would lean toward being a pullet trait; male or female that is going to be one beautiful bird. The other I'm not so sure since it has a much patchier look.
I've had plenty of young pullets chest bump and would not put any stock in sexing due specifically to that. And sometimes one just rushes up to another too fast thus scaring it and they both go on high alert until what appears to be "Oh, it is just you" then they stand down and go about their business. They start the pecking order pretty young.
