Hen or Roo?

Hi everyone! Trying to figure out if this is a cockerel they should be around 8/9 weeks. I am thinking the first one in the front will be, also wondering about the one in the back thinking pullet on that one. They are supposed to be ameraucanas.
Thank you for the help!

The gray bird with the reddish wing patches is likely a cockerel. At this point the blue bird in the back looks like a pullet.

I agree with sourland. The rust color on the shoulders is male specific coloring so cockerel. I don't see any signs of the dark one being male.

That’s what I was thinking as well. Do you think they’re also Ameraucana or EE? After finding out they were advertising them as pullet but actually straight run don’t trust the feed store

That’s what I was thinking too! I appreciate it

I'll also throw out that I believe they are Easter Eggers, not true Ameraucana. The Ameraucana that are bred true are pretty hard to find and if you got them at a feed store, probably EEs. I bet they labeled them as "Americanas" or similar spelling to make you think you were getting pure bred.

I have EEs and love them.

Hi everyone, thought on these two birds- they are about 2-3 weeks from my original ones. I’m thinking these will all be cockerels.thoughts?

Agreed, EE, not Ameraucanas. You don't get Ameraucanas at a feed store. But EE are lovely birds and I won't be without them.
