Hens or Roos?

[Joshuad23]

I bought 4 straight run chicks from a local hobby farmer. They were said to be chicks from an Aloha Rooster and Ameraucana Hen. Two of the chicks - I suspect are roosters. At almost 8 weeks old now their feather patterns are t really giving me good info but their combs are much redder (but not too much more developed) than the others. Any thoughts on these two ladies/gents? Thank you!

Both strike me as boys, the grey one might be a pullet but I think a boy :'(

Here is another chick from the same batch for reference.

They're both cockerels and neither is an Ameraucana. Easter Egger perhaps

- Well shoot - that's what I was thinking too. I can't have roosters in my neighborhood so I'll need to find homes for these two guys.

I learned just yesterday that he may actually have Swedish flower hen blood lines in them. Does that change your opinion at all on whether they are male or female?

Still definitely cockerels. Swedish Flower Mixed in makes sense!
