Easter egger roo ?

[Amydls]

I noticed that the tail feathers had a green glint to them when the light was shining just right and I’m seeing a difference in the comb compared to the others from the same hatching - is this little Easter egger (sold as an araucana) a roo ? The second (lighter colored) chick is much larger than all the rest but I’m thinking pullet ?
Many thanks - trying to weed out all of our roo chicks before we potentially upset any new neighbors !

Going by the blotchy color pattern and darker red feathers in the shoulder the first is a cockerel. In these images the second looks like a pullet. Pictures outside could help confirm.

Fist one looks like a cockerel, and the second one looks like a pullet.

Keep in mind that the green sheen on black feathers is not a cockerel trait. Its a bird trait. All birds with black feathers will sheen either green or purple. My black jersey giant hen sheens both colors.
