Rooster?

[Ridgerunner]

I cannot see the head that well to be able to tell anything from the comb and wattles. If they have a Pea comb it can be challenging to tell much about the comb anyway. I think I see some sharp hackle feathers but no sharp saddle feathers. The legs look fairly thick. Posture looks somewhat upright. I'd give this one about a 75% chance of being a boy.

With the sharp hackle feathers, curving tail feathers, fairly thick legs, and upright posture I'd give this one about a 90% chance of being a boy.

I would not do anything dramatic with them yet but I think there is a fair chance you have one or two boys.

I am very suspicious of the grey one. I’ll try to post a pic of the other ones face

My initial guess was both are pullets due to even coloration but the tail shape and carriage on the gray bird is making me suspicious...

Yes the grey one is the one I’m most suspicious! Sometimes when she’s walking around the tail feathers “splay out” and seem to stand taller. She looks much different from the others, I have 2 other EEs

Do you think if they are males they should have darker and more pronounced comb and waddle by this point(8 wks)? None of my 3 EEs have darker or pronounced comb/waddle. They are pale and tiny

Some cockerels mature sooner than others, so it's 'early times' yet to be sure. Here, if I'm suspicious about a chick being male, it usually turns out that way. Post more pictures in two or three weeks

Probably, but no guarantees. Some males keep their small, pale comb and wattles for a lot longer than others.

We have 7 chickens and these 2 are Easter eggers that I’m worried are roosters. We aren’t allowed to have roosters unfortunately. They are 8 weeks old, how can I tell?

Both are pullets, I can tell by the rounded wing feathers, while males usually have pointed ones.
