Sexing The EEs... HELP!

[DKPoultry]

Yeah, All of them do have fairly red combs. 2 is the darkest and that one has always had the most comb developement of the three. that is also the biggest one and the most agressive. 1 is a sweetheart. Very laidback personality and the biggest tail (I just thought that was because they were mutts and it got more tail genes than the other two that have always been more stubby like in the back). 3 is the one that has been the slowest to develop. That one has been the smallest and slowest to get feathers.
These photos are from today, at 8 weeks. I am def thinking 2 is a roo, but the other two I can't decide.... (Sorry about the mud and yuck... had to be raining when I wanted to take pics

)

I was kinda iffy on #1 in that first set of pictures, but 1 and 2 look very roo in that 2nd set. My 2 EEs are 11 weeks and the pullet has a thin little yellow/pink comb, my boy (was supposed to be a girl, spent many obsessed nights looking at pictures on BYC!

) has a very thick, very red comb. It was iffy looking at 5+ weeks but by 7 weeks it was unanimous that he was a he.
That 3rd one isn't a comb i've really seen in my EE searches, it doesn't look much like either mine so i'm not sure. I guess i'd lean pullet b/c it looks like it's narrow.

1 & 2 are cockerals, do you happen to have a front shot of 3? just want to make sure before I say you have a hat trick of cockerals

This breed can be very tricky to sex even at 3-4 months. I have one that looked rooish for a long time but when she didn't have saddle feathers at about 6months I knew I had a girl. You will probably just have to wait and see to know for sure.

I think 1 and 2 are roos with 3 being you're pullet

I am seeing a trend with the issues sexing the EEs. I realise I will just have to wait and see what they mature to be. It really is fun trying to guess. I went to get wyandottes and ended up with these guys on impulse so I didn't really know much about them. Once I saw all the pretty colors there are I was a little bummed with white, but once the started getting their feathers they are more than just white. 1 & 3 have pretty brown markings throught them and 2 has always had a grayish tinge with some black spots on one of its wings.
Here are some frontal shots of 3.

Well... two thumbs way up to those who voted all cockerels.... the "boys" are crowing nicely
