Are these 'Ameraucana's' actually EE's and gender?

[saritastar]

These two chicks have been fighting since the day I got them. They are 7-8 weeks old. I bought them as Ameraucana's but are they really EE's? I looked for signs of spurs but all of my chicks have a little bump where a spur might go, so I'm confused about that part. I know all 14 chicks aren't boys.

I think the mostly black and white one is going to be a roo, am I right? And what about the redish one... different lighter comb but obnoxious as heck and driving me nuts. That one also has an extra toe.

Thanks!

Is that because of the three row comb? I have one more that I didn't get pics of and trying to tell with that one.

Oh, and hello neighbor!

Do you want them for stew?? lol​

The combs and the coloring.​

Sorry they're boys, but they both have awesome coloring!

The 3 row comb is called a rose comb and is typical for EEs, male and female. At 7 weeks the second chicken has a very prominent comb. So I am going to say definitely a rooster. I see the shiny green feathers in the tail of the first one, so I am gonna say roo on that one too.

I think they are beautiful birds!!

Sorry, that is not correct. That is called a pea comb, not a rose comb.

Well, the third one (not pictured) has a 3 row comb and tinges of purple, blue, and yellow in it's feathers... comb color and size is somewhere in between the other two. Supposing that's a roo too. Bah! So much for colored eggs.
