[HippieHen44]

So I have two 8 week EE’s that have me stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
FYI purchased as sexed pullets.....

Sorry to hijack your thread but I just have to say that black and white bird is gorgeous wish I had one like that. For your sake I hope it's a pullet.

Not an expert by any means. The first looks like a cockerel. Similar comb to my easter eager. I dont wanna take a guess on the second.

I'd say both pullets-small combs that aren't very red, and you can't see any long pointy hackle or saddle feathers. BEAUTIFUL birds. (Please take anything I say with a grain of himalayan sea salt, I'm not an expert.

Thank you! I definitely am no expert either and I sure appreciate the guesses!

White and black 100% a cockerel, other is a pullet

How can you tell? Not questioning your judgement, just curious.

His patchy colors and bright color on the shoulders. I'm even seeing some pointed sex feathers

Ah, ok! I'm slowwwwwwwly learning to sex birds. I know that usually rust/reddish color on the wings is a male trait in most breeds, in EEs it's on the shoulders too? Good to know. Looking closer at the picture I can see some pointy hackle/saddle feathers.... guess I didn't look close enough the first time!

That’s been my guess too. I even saw him try to jump on the back of one of the other pullets the other day. Even though young I’ve felt In my gut he was a cockerel. He’s also super unfriendly and always has been. Not saying that’s a trait but all the others are friendly and he will come at me.
