Feathers based on our Easter Eggers I think I might change my mind
You can't really go off coloring, as EEs can be any color, and there isn't really anything male specific. Reliable ways to sex are:
Males will have a red and larger comb/wattles at around 6-8 weeks.

At 12 weeks, males get specific feathering: pointy saddle feathers, hackle feathers, and eventually they'll grow some sickle feathers.

Hens get red combs anywhere from 16- 20 weeks when they start laying, but their feathering will stay rounded

This bird has both the red comb, and the pointy male feathering.
