Ameraucana males or females?

If all the chickens in the most recent photos are the same age:

--I think the bottom photo has a cockerel (mostly white), and a pullet (black head at the bottom.) I'm going mostly by the relative colors of the combs, and a little bit on the size of the combs.

--photo above the bottom one has 3 birds with combs visible. I think they are the same gender as each other. If the mostly-white one is a cockerel, then so are the other two.

Unless the head in the bottom photo also belongs to one of the birds in the photo above it: if that is the case, I'll just say that sexing birds from photos is tricky :)

--the first two photos with one bird in each: if they're the same bird, and the same age as the birds in the lower photos, then cockerel also (based on comb color.) I also think I see pointy hackle feathers in the first photo, although I'm not positive about that.
Haha! So the first two pictures is the same chicken that’s cluck cluck thats mostly black and red on the wings and then the two bottom pictures the bird in the back that’s mostly white is chickaletta, those are the two I’m really unsure of! Cluck cluck has always had a larger comb but doesn’t really have a rooster attitude at all and I feel has more of a hen body and then chickaletta the white one seems much larger than the other chickens a smaller comb compared to Cluck Cluck but definitely has the rooster strut and thick legs! Haha I’m so confused by these chickens I thought I would have known by now since they are I think almost 12 weeks old but I’m still as confused as ever 😆🤪
 
So the two chickens that I have been pretty suspicious of have been sizing eachother up lately and pecking at eachother and the feathers on their necks get fanned out/stand up when they are sizing eachother up lol I don’t know a lot about chickens but do hens do this or is this for sure a roo thing? 🤷‍♀️

One of my pullet chicks did it to an adult today through the fence cause she was trying to eat “her” food LOL so hens do sometimes do it!

Lol good to know! I was like damn it they are both Roos! I only have 6 total so I definitely can’t have 2 of them 😂
 
Okay! So I feel pretty confident now that they are both Roos, what does everyone else think!?
