Got 2 new EE babies, 3.5 weeks old. I know it is early, but any predictions on gender? I have my suspicions already!

This is Rosie

This is Sally

Sally(top) is feathering in much faster
 
Keep an eye out for reddish-brown feathers coming in on the shoulders and back/neck. That is a sign of male EEs.

My male EE, which I'm pretty convinced about at this point (4 weeks), developed HUGE legs with respect to the rest of his body. He is feathering more slowly than the female though doesn't have the red feathers yet, and his comb is raised off his head while hers is completely flat.

Edited to add: Sally looks like a girl and Rosie looks like a boy. Notice how Rosie's comb is much more pronounced and raised than Sally's.
