Is my ameraucana chicken a rooster?

[Belizafitch96]

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if my ameraucana chicken is a rooster? Her name is Sweetie and my husband and I bought her among others a couple months ago as chicks/pullets. We are new to raising chickens. We have 11 total and we know the odds are likely to having a rooster. He heard crowing one morning around 5 am but was unsure which chicken it came from.

We are suspicious of a couple others but Sweetie often shows signs of being an alpha hen. She's also the biggest/poofiest but I'm not sure if that's just because of her breed. I'd like to mention she's not the greatest of flyers and has a hard time flying up to roost on fences with the other chickens. My husband has had to get on a ladder and help her get up there with her sisters. Anyway, I will attach some pictures of her and any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like an Easter Egger cockerel.
The red comb and the splotches of red make me lean toward cockerel.

EE cockerel. The comb is the tell tale sign, and the legs are thick as well.

According to things my daughter has told me, and what I've read, it looks to me like the red chicken on the right in the first picture is developing his wattles, which tells me he's the crowing culprit. However, he doesn't exactly look like an Ameraucana.

Not that I'm an expert by any stretch of the imagination! I've raised Ameraucanas before, but didn't have the problem of having to tell which is which, since they were all lady girls.

Here's an article on telling the sex of chickens:

That one is a pullet. They also get wattles. They just don't develop as early as a cockerel would.

EE cockerel.

Am I correct on the EE part @EmmaRainboe?

Yes.

Age? Other than the suspect the rest appear to be pullets. Atleast the ones in the photos.

Not sure of her exact age. She was a chick when we bought her back in April. I've attached a picture of the first 6 we bought, her being the gray one eating out of the bowl.

Yeah, between where you got them and his/her very green legs, you have an EE, not an ameraucana.

Yeah, we're not experts on chicken breeds. We just know she was listed as an ameraucana but I've heard of there being confusion between the different breeds.

How old? Hens can crow to, most likely if you don’t have a roo.
