Ameraucana - head swivel, strutting; do pullets do this? pic included

[chickabella]

My seven pullets are about eight weeks old now, and are in a coop that opens to a small covered run. I bring them out once a day to run around, and get my Great Pyrenees pups accustomed to their presence. The Ameraucana, which is supposed to be a pullet, acts differently than the others. She mostly stands around, swiveling/bobbing her head, sometimes striking a "prizefighter" pose. A friend remarked that in a coop with no roosters, sometimes a pullet will take on rooster-like behaviors. Is that so? If true, would this be the case with the Ameraucana? Or perhaps did I get a rooster by accident? Many thanks...

The tail feather look pointy in the left pic, could be a Roo.
