I have a pair of Americuana chickens, 11 weeks old. One has a pale, undeveloped comb AND a cock/sickle feather, the other has a red, larger comb and NO cock feather. The undeveloped comb chicken behaves rather aggressively. Please tell me if you think they are both roos! I really want hens.
 
The mostly white one is a cockerel, but I think the other one is a pullet. Sometimes when pullets are growing in their adult plumage, they'll have what appears to be a pointed sickle feather. It isn't a true sickle, though, just an odd looking normal hen feather.
 
Whilst I agree that the comb growth and colour indicate pullet and I don't see any pointed saddle or hackle feathers, the red wing blotches are rather suspicious.
