Ameraucana/EE - Hens or Roos??? ADDED COMB PICS

I'd say 2 roo's, however the darker one has the possibility of being a pullet

i think they are both roos. Mine are 6 weeks and my roo has similiar coloring to your lighter one.

here are my 2 6 week old roos:

this is what the group of ee's look like so you can see the difference in comb/coloring, etc.

Both are roos. EEs have pea combs, and the roos will start showing three distinct rows on their comb very early. Pullets will not redden their combs until about 8 to 12 weeks, and you almost never can count three distinct rows of bumps on them.

Also, the coloring is roo on both.

Sorry if that's bad news

I'm actually ok with them both being roos. Not ideal, as now I'll probably have to find one a home. But I'll grow them out and see which one is nicer first. And since I will have more eggs than I know what to do with when my girls do start to lay...
