Hey guys! What do you think of my 4 Easter Eggers? I'm pretty sure on 2 of them being pullets (Lighter wheat with Blue Tail and the Other Wheat colored) But I'm afraid I'm not too sure on the other two (More Red and Black Speckled and Whitest one)

My guess is the redder speckled one is a pullet and the whiter one is a cockerel. I say Red is a pullet due to her tail feathers while yes being larger, they are all extremely round. She is also the smallest, and has the tiniest legs out of the group.
The whiter one on the other hand has mostly round tail with a few points. His size and leg size is what makes me learn toward cockerel.
Really hoping we only have 1 roo, flock isn't big enough for two!

By 18 weeks there would be no doubt if there was a cockerel in the midst. An 18 week old cockerel would have a much larger, redder comb. Long, thin, pointed saddle and hackle feathers. Longer sickle feathers in the tail. Heavier, thicker legs. And depending on the pattern would have solid wing bars "solid patches of color on his upper wings".
