Is my Ameraucana a rooster or hen?

I have been wondering about two of my so-called "hens". They were both sold to me as Ameracaunas but the first one is definetely an Easter Egger. I think the second one may be a real Ameracauna but I am not sure. I think these two are roosters because at 2 months old, all my other hens just have small and pale combs.
Are any of you experts on these breeds? And can you tell me if I am correct in assuming these two are roos?



This, above, is Lightning who is clearly no Ameraucana. No muff, beard, absent wattles or pea comb (as you see the other roo does have).



This is Twilight (isn't he beautiful? and very sweet too) and I think he's an Ameraucana but perhaps not...
 
Both males. Personally, I don't see any easter egger traits on that first bird, it looks like a generic red rooster. The second one is an easter egger.
 
I was wondering about that. I just assumed he was an easter egger because he was sold as an Ameraucana, I guess. :)
