I’m hoping to get some clarity on whether this 6 week old Ameraucana of mine is a pullet or cockerel. She/he (Bullystick) doesn’t have any pink on her comb unlike their sibling Chipmunk (last image, who I think is a roo).
Bullystick has different colouring though so I’m not sure.

Hope someone can help let me know! Thanks
 
It's a little early to tell, I think. I know the ameacauana females have smaller combs. That was the first tell on mine. But I didn't know for sure on him till he was 9 weeks old.
 
Update in case anyone reads this in future who is also looking to sex their Ameraucanas:
We had someone confirm to us that they are both cockerels. The splay of their wings is a big giveaway, I’m told.
 
If I’m reading this correctly they were wing sexed? If so that’s only correct in sexing when the chicken has been bred for that trait. The first is a pullet the second a cockerel he has red leakage on the wings.
