Please tell me these are not cockerels...

I got these Easter Eggers from tractor supply out of the pullet bin. They are about 8 weeks give or take. I've noticed a few looking a bit red. Also thev2 light colored one are starting to get dark patches on their wings. Can anyone help me here?

I don't see anything that screams cockerel with these pics. Individual pics with side shot and head shot would be better.

I'm pretty positive that they are pullets

I took shots of the back cause I was concerned about the dark patches coming in on the shoulders. I've always been told this is a Male trait with Easter Eggers.

8 weeks is too young for pointed male saddle feathers to show. This one and the rest of them look like pullets to me.

Red shoulder patches:

Yours look to just have a bit of random coloration.

Thank you that's what I was hoping to hear. I wasn't sure if the females will also get the patches but maybe lighter. In the past red patches have always turned out to be roosters. However these are pretty light compared to my others so was hoping just a fluke.

All pullets.
