Boy or Girl help please!

These Ameracaunas are 4 months old. They both crow in the mornings but their bodies look so different from another, I can't tell which is a male or if both are. The dark one is starting to grow what I believe are saddle feathers (the lighter plumes). If they are boys I have to rehome them, so your input is very much appreciated. They are sweet chickens, sad to think of letting them go but I can’t have them in my city.

I think the lighter one is probably a roo. The other one is shaped more like a pullet. Hard to tell for sure though until egg laying time!

Why do you guys say Easter Eggers? The breeders marketed them as 100% Ameracaunas when I got them as chicks. It doesn't matter, I am just curious.

1st of all there is no such thing as an ameracauna, there is however a breed called an ameraucana, these birds lay only blue eggs and only come in a handful of colors.
Easter Eggers are a mutt, they are a cross beetween a blue egg layer and a brown egg layer, they are basically the
poor persons ameraucana. Easter Eggers also can lay brown, pink, olive, white, tinted, blue, green, and cream.
