Sprite, 15 week old, male or female easter egger?

I hope all goes well with Sprite. She is pretty. It can be a bit frustrating trying to figure them out sometimes. They just don't want to play by our rules. :) I have a pretty Silvery Blue EE that I have been calling a pullet for the past 6 weeks, she is 9 weeks old now, and, now she is changing. past few days, she is getting darker blue feathers and they are different than what she has had. Her name is Blue feather, and His name will stay the same. I'll give it a few more weeks to be absolute, but I think I am gonna be sad.

This is Goldie. I think she is a wheaten. she has red on chest, but not the dark wing shoulder red like roos tend to get. this may not be what you are referring to FlyingNunFarm, post a picture of your hen if you have it. Love to see it.

Not the best picture of my Wheaten girl.

She's in a pretty rough molt so don't tell her I shared this picture. ;)
You can see the darker Wheaten color on her neck and wings but she also has black mixed in on her flight feathers and tail. (Which is missing) She has a few grayish fluff feathers thrown in too.
She sports blue legs and lays through and through blue eggs.

Yes, she is looking a little rough, but I won't tell her you showed me this picture! :) She is definitely darker than Goldie, and when she is done molting, I would like to see her again. I bet she is lovely with all her full feathers.

She is a lovely little lady. On the smaller side, hovers just under 4lbs. I looked through all my chicken pictures and generally found her photo bombing her sister. LOL
