Is my Ameraucana a Hen or Roo?

"She" was purchased as a pullet. 2 months old.

I have a suspicion. After reading through other posts and checking pictures I'm actually pretty darns sure.
I'd only suspected it once...but then today she started making new noises...but not a full crow.
Longer tail feathers, metallic green starting to appear in tail, bright red comb, thicker legs...hmm what else. Oh "she" holds her tail higher & has this prominent pose.

That there im a boy!

My kid just faked a twang as she 'hollared' that over my shoulder. I agree. You'll hear crowing soon. My EE roo who is similar in coloring is an absolute doll and never crows unless I have a budding crower in the grow-out coop. As long as there's no competition he's quiet enough to stay in town!
 
Flipping figures! Hes sweet and hand raised, but he was experimenting with his voice this morning. I'd heard that hens occasionally make similar noises to a budding roos crow, because there isn't a roo around. All hope is lost. At least Ebby isn't a boy or girl name.
