1 looks a bit iffy also

Unfortunately I have a slight suspicion 1 might be a cockerel too, mainly because they’re so friendly, and bold, they’ll climb up my hand and rest on my shoulder lol. However other than that, they may be a hen. Their spur persay is smaller than the other white Easter egger

The white EE is a cockerel with the patches of white color on the wings.

The brown EE looks female because of the small, very even pattern on the wings. A male with that coloring would have patches of red coming in at 6 weeks or sooner.

Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with the other breeds to know what to look for.

Thank you, that’s honestly what I have been suspecting, even the start of the spur is bigger in the white too

At this age, size and behavior are not always good indicators of sex. I had a huge, very dominant EE chick that loved to jump up and cannonball the other chicks. She is 9 years old now and still laying eggs.

Look closely at the combs of your EEs. The brown pullet should have a single thin raised ridge down the center of her comb. The white male will have 3 bumpy rows. His pea comb will look lumpy. Female pea combs don't get lumpy until after 12 weeks or more.

The brown EE (pumpkin) only has the one ridge, the white one has three bumpy rows
