Pullet or Cockerel? New Picture Added!

I'm on the fence. My BO didn't get any redness, but I only had one so who am I to judge. My instinct says roo, but it's really just a guess.
 
I was thinking maybe the last pic of EE was a roo...almost looks like saddle feathers coming in, plus long tail feathers too, In the pic with both EEs together, this one has much thicker legs it looks like. Hope I am wrong!
 
All but the BR are pullets.

There's no way the EE is a cockerel. Cockerels never get coloring like that. Length of tail feathers is not indicative of gender, and the saddle feathers are not pointed like a cockerel's. I've also found that thickness of legs doesn't always work either. I have 3 EE pullets, 2 have very skinny delicate legs, and the 3rd has thick ones.

The Buff Orp is a pullet as well. At 15 weeks, that amount of "redness" (it looks more pink to me) is perfectly normal, especially for an Orp. A 15 week cockerel has way more redness and MUCH more development in the comb, and would have definite hackle and saddle feathers.
