I think I'm quite successful in gender recognition at that age - my predictions based on your pictures (which are detailed and excellent), are these:
1-female
2-male
3-male
4-hmmmm maybe female
5-female
6-female 100%
7-male 100%
8-male
9-female 100%
10-hmmmmmmm maybe male
11-by the behavior of the female, by the appearance hmmmmmmm

Sounds like he has an overly protective personality then. Still wouldn't breed him, to avoid potentially passing it down, if it's hereditary.

Ive actually never bred him but used his brother which apparently didnt have two blue egg gene and through a brown egg layer daughter ate him and sold that pullet. If I do ever breed him will be for my personal flock. Im not a fan of ameraucanas to start with

6 always seemed like a male to me, especially the comb, what seems so feminine about her?

Here’s 6 compared to 9. Are the large chicks usually roosters?

No, larger chicks aren't always males. I've had quite a few large female chicks.
Some of it has to do with the size of eggs they hatch from.

Ok, I’ll keep that in mind. The comb size of #6 still makes me think he’s a boy, though.
