I got my chickens from a feed store who got chicks from a hatchery. I noticed this and was wondering if I had ended up with girls or boys here is a few pictures of one of mineEDIT notice this little knots on her/his legs

Its hard to tell, but the little knots could be the beginning of spurs, so I would guess the top pic is a boy. Are both pics the same chicken?
 
I'm going to say girl. It has the typical female feather pattern for an EE. Males and females both have the little nubs on their legs, males typically don't get spurs until they're about a year old (sooner in fast maturing breeds).
 
both pullets and cockerels have those spur stubs on their legs and some hens even grow spurs. coloration says its a pullet
