I say Pullet....... then Rooo.... but then again Im just learning.. but the EE looks like my little Roo.. and she isnt pink like roos seam to be by that age..

)O(
Pink
 
The ee is a pullet, as you will never see a rooster that color. The buff also looks like a hen to me. Keep in mind they're getting of an age to develop red combs, they're approaching laying age. If they were roos, at fifteen weeks they'd have marked sex characteristics.

I was going to say the same thing. My EE is only 8 weeks and her comb is turning pinkish....but she has the pullet coloring just like yours.....both look like girls to me

I also have 2 chickens, a Buff Orphington and an EE/Amerucana. The BO looks just like mine and your EE looks like my EE except the colors and the comb is a little larger but mine are 13 weeks. I also vote 2 girls!
