Thanks for having me! Boy or girl?

G'day

I have a small backyard flock containing 2 Delawares, 2 RIRs, and two EE. They are about 9 weeks old. I bought them as day olds(ish) and they were all deemed female. I am however suspecting one of the EE to be a cockerel. I've attached a few pics, the feather pattern/color is consistent, and similar to the female, but the feathers themselves are more pointy shaped, and Attila( the suspected cockerel) has a slightly different shaped head/neck then the female (more rounded head and seems to hold it higher) also, he/she is the only one that will not take treats from my hand and is certainly the most skittish around people. Seems to be in the middle of the pecking order amongst the chickens. Not seeing any spurs.

Thanks for your help!

That looks like a girl! Other than looks, the males are typically not shy, and are at the top of the pecking order.
And spurs do not begin to grow on a rooster until they are much older than her.
