EE with copper on wings?

I just came across a comment that said Easter Eggers with copper on their wings are cockerel specific.

I’ve been watching this white one, thinking it’s a little man for a while, but I haven’t been too sure because I am not sure of the breed 100% because I have another definite EE because of the fuzzy cheeks (pictured brown) which is certainly a roo.

So, have my suspicions been correct and I have two EE boys?

First one is an EE pullet. The red coloring does usually mean a cockerel, but pullets can have it too. The red on her is very light and even and her comb and wattles are still small. The last one is an EE cockerel. His red is in bolder patches on his shoulders and back where the male feathers will come in, with a bright red comb.
Oh, wow! Thanks!
