Is my ameraucana chicken a rooster?

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.
