Pls help newbie identify these

First one looks possibly male, second female EE? The last picture is out of focus a little, possible BarredRock in the markings? Anyone crowing yet?

Red wing bars are male specific in any breed or cross.

Would you say the hens in the pics i posted have wing bars? Especially the one on the blue background.

No. That is leakage.

Where did they come from? Are they rescues, from a store?????

Agreed, stunning Easter Eggers. First is 100% cockerel, as well.

Personally, i don't agree with all that about the EE's have male specific colors. They are mixes, after all. I don't know if you are referring to the red wing bars, or not, but here are pics i found on the web that are hens with red wings:

I wouldn't consider these red wing bars.....pictured is a cockerel with the classic wing bars, for reference.

Generally speaking, EE hens with a varying amounts of red are still even in pattern - like the following.

Stark red patches, a.k.a. wing bars, simply aren't a normal female trait. This is why we oftentimes go off amount of patchiness in Easter Eggers when determining gender.

Will take more photos later today. They're quite skittish and difficult to get a good photo. Sold to me as hopefully all females but I am secretly hoping for a roo. No signs of crowing at all they're very quiet and no signs of trying to stand up to the other hens in the area. None really have any comb or wattle development. They're very good scratchers. Long toes.

The redish orange has yellow legs. (Named Sage)The black one with red speckles(all over the body) has whitish grey legs(Named Daffodil) The black with white speckles on chest area has deep blue black legs.(named Lavender)

That may be so. I still prefer not to sex them that way, though.
