Cockerel or Pullet?

Is how you have the parents listed correct? Meaning, was it an Amer roo over a Marans hen? If so, it's a sex link chick and male.
I'm leaning towards male anyway, a pullet shouldn't have that much red on the face at less than three months old.

Actually, it was the other way around. Marans rooster over Ameraucana hen.
I agree, it's comb is quite red, and the curve in the tail makes me think boy, but I don't know really.
 
Cockerel for sure. Slow feathering and red comb are big indicators that it is a boy! :)
 
I am posting my question here since it is a newer thread...I need some help!
I bought 6 Cuckoo Marans chicks from my local Ag Store on April 5Th. I only ordered ONE cockerel, the remaining 5 were supposed to be pullets. I realize that there isn't an exact science to sexing chicks by looking at the yellow-ish dot on the top of their heads. That being said, the cockerel was marked blue on top of his yellow dot. A few weeks ago, 1 of the 5 pullets began showing signs of being a cockerel. Not a big deal, really, until yesterday when we noticed a THIRD pullet that looks like some of the pictures I have seen to be a cockerel not a pullet.

Above is a recent picture of said Third bird in question.

This is a picture a few weeks ago of the First cockerel that we ordered. It was taken a few weeks ago.

Are there any ideas as to what gender it may be? Please help, I don't really want 3 cockerels.​
