Think I have a pullet and a cockerel EE? - second opinions welcome!

Got these two from the local feed store - SURE they're "Araucanas" just like the 20-year old kid told me-LOL!

Pretty sure I have a girl and a boy EE, but anyone wanna reinforce my opinion on that? They're about 4.5 weeks which I know is early but really - the comb, the baldness and the brown on the wings? Thanks!!

You have a pullet and a cock! Good looking EEs!!!

I will have to second the opinion. With the significant differences in them as of the time of the pic being taken makes me think Cock and Hen.

Thanks, you two! See, I knew all that old 4-H stuff would come back from the dim recesses of my mind - we used to raise the chicks and ducklings in a box up on the griddle of the stove (turned OFF, obviously - just pilots to keep 'em warm) and I just looked at these two and went, "Oh- boy, girl!" Appreciate the affirmation

1 pullet and 1 cockeral yes. EE no. The cockeralin front has a definite single comb. Both have bright yellow legs and they hold their tails way too high. I would deffinitely say no to them being EEs.

Me too. I don't see easter egger there at all. The pullet might be a Welsummer? Hard to tell at this age, couple different breeds have that same chipmonk coloring, and I'm really not sure what a Wellie roo might look like at this age. Maybe go to the Welsummer thread and ask those folks.

Thanks so much, everyone! I had also noticed that the legs seemed wrong for EEs - definitely yellow and no greenish cast whatsoever. I will go check out Welsummers!
