Hi,
I got six baby chicks in early July (2 white leghorns, 2 ameraucanas, & 2 red stars). They are now about 10 weeks old. One of the white leghorns and one of the red stars developed their comb and wattle (see photos) while the other 4 don’t have them yet. Should I be worried that those two are roosters? Thank you for your help!

Yes that's a male. Pointed saddle feathers (just in front of the tail), patchy coloration, dark rust wing patches, plus that very upright stance which is usually associated with males.

Yes it’s a Cockerel. Cause I said so. Look at the pointy saddle feathers. Also comb kinda big for an Ameraucana Pullet at that age
