Is this a hen or a roo?

Hi everyone! I’m a relatively new chicken dude who has had a terrible “rooster rate” (67%!) from a local farm store here in Sonoma County. As you guys know, roosters are tough to find homes for. Anyway, after a few weeks, we began to notice two of the three chicks we bought began exhibiting male behaviors and subsequently thought, “oh no...”. Both are Ameraucanas (or so we were told). We found a home for “Elmo” (formerly Florence Jean Castleberry) and began looking for a home for “Rocco” (formerly Ellie Mae). The only thing is... “Rocco” isn’t acting like a boy anymore now that Elmo is gone. Is “Rocco” a cockerel or pullet???

Looks like a pullet those breeds are difficult. The tail is starting to look like a roo tail though
