That's not an Ameraucana, it's an Easter Egger. Ameraucanas have pea combs and don't come in that color. It could be a pullet--hard to tell. At about 10 weeks is when cockerels will begin crowing. Listen for that. Also, look under its back feathers, a little less than halfway up its back from its rump. Do you see thin feathers with slightly different coloring coming in? Those will be saddle feathers. If you don't see any, likely it's a pullet. Or they haven't started developing yet. My 10 and 11 week old cockerels all have the beginnings of saddle feathers so you should see them any time.
