We picked up a couple of OEs about 10 weeks ago. The next day the bin was labeled sex link with a question mark. Same chicks. We don't really know anything about OEs, except that we wanted eggs that color. Now that they are big, I'm pretty sure we have a rooster and a hen, but I'm not sure. The one that has the cheek puffs seems to try to mate my tiny porcelain and a younger EE, so I assume it's a he. My assumptions don't always amount to much, so I could use some help. Oh, and they both have a very tiny bit of feathers peeking through the scales on their legs.

Q#1 Is this what they are supposed to look like to be an OE? Especially since they are so different in the face?
Q#2. Can you tell if it is a roo and a hen?
I tried to look at the hackke feathers, but they looked the same to me. Kind of "fuzzed out", or splayed, so it was hard to tell.
Thank you for reading and checking out the pictures. Any help is appreciated.
