I have two EE's, genders please.

I have two beautiful and friendly Easter Eggers. I was convinced I had two hens, now my husband has me thinking otherwise.


The first three pictures are of the one we're thinking is a male.








and I'm pretty positive this one is a female.

Do you have any pictures with naturally lighting of the one you think is male? The flash is really washing out the comb color, and I can't tell if the coloring is really as intense as the picture is showing it to be.
The last bird is definitely a pullet with that even pattern.

X2 - the color saturation of the first photos makes it difficult to discern what is the bird's actual coloring, but it does appear to be a cockerel.

this is as good as I could get for now until morning.

That looks like 'rooster' red on the shoulders/wing to me.

Agreed

The first bird is male, and the second looks female. I'm not sure the second is an EE, though. can we get a pic of her standing naturally, and a comb shot? Where did they come from, hatchery or breeder?

Hatchery

This was them as chicks. Left is the one we believe is male and the right is the female.

The brightly colored one is definitely a cockerel and the other is a pullet.
