Hazel and Toffee are pullets. There's a great thread on the What Breed/Gender board that teaches you how to sex them by color pattern.

EEs are just like other birds in that they do need to be handled to become familiar with you. They are not naturally like puppies and bred to lick you all over (unless of course they are not handle and get used to humans) If animals are not handled they are afraid. And then there are the stages that they go thorough. During development they will be hyperactive until their hormones reach a steady level. Cockerels are notorious for being randy and very busy and yes sometimes nasty and aggressive. How they are dealt with during this phase is very significant. Look for post on behavior. There is wonderful information and links to useful stuff.
