Cockerel or Pullet EE

[AJoy16]

Both are EEs around 9 wks. The white one is my smallest out of this age group. It's around the size of my 5/6wk age group. He is molting but has one kind of curly tail feather and a bit of rust color coming through the shoulders. I know the rule about pea combs doesnt always apply to EEs but I've had a feeling he's a roo. I posted them in a Facebook group specifically for EE sexing and was told both are roos. The black one has me stuck bc I have 5 black ones that are all my biggest chicks, but all solid. Someone from here mentioned when I asked at a much younger age that an EE roo wouldn't be a solid color and that the comb was not always a positive yes or no. All 5 black ones kinda just look like big hens to me. Thoughts?

You can tell males when their tails grow in. Roos with hqve pointed back feathers and long shiny tail feathers, while females with have rounded back feathers and short tail feathers.
