16 week Ameraucana cockerel or hen?!

[Maderfarms]

Most people think this 14 week Ameraucana is a cockerel but I’m not totally convinced. What do you guys think?

He's 100% a cockerel Notice the pointed saddle feathers and red comb!

I'm sorry. With the pea combs it can be a bit tricky :/

What about this one? She’s a Ameraucana as well but with a recessive gene causing her feathers to be fluffy.

It's gorgeous!! This one is a bit more tricky since sex feathers can't be used. Can you get a clear picture of the comb?

I think it's likely a cockerel

She acts more docile then the blue one. Her comb has always been super red since she was young compared to his as well.
