Ameracauna hen or roo?

To me, purple screams cockerel but the others are hard to tell. I find head on shots of pea combs easier to judge. I found a pic of our 5-6 week old blue Ameraucana, which were all pullets. Also a pic of an approx 6 week old black Ameraucana cockerel. Our blue Ameraucana are also very stand-offish with people, even as hens.

I could take a photo of each comb. Except purple. Because that one is wild lol.
First two are sage and second two are blue.

For sure. Sage and blue I’m hoping are both pullets. My EE chicks I was certain one was a rooster and it ended up being my hen lol.
I’ll give it time but I’m really hoping to keep two of them. At ten weeks I was thinking the comb would be way larger and bright red if they were roosters. I’m going to hold out and keep hoping. Thanks for your input! :)
