So these two were sold to me as Araucanas... I have a feeling they are just regular EE's but my suspicion is that the light colored one is a cockerel. They are 6 weeks old.
Rosebud

Thank you for any help.
 
Rosebud's feathering looks like a pullet, but that very pink comb makes me think cockerel. Keep a watch on that one.

Cleo looks like a pullet.

Both EEs.

Definitely a couple of cutiepie EEs!

Your white is a roo, and the partridge is a pullet.

Hope that helps!

Yes it does help. I love the white one but I already have one rooster and no more room. 2 roosters and 5 hens wont work right??? My chick guy will swap for me so I will have a new pullet next week.

the other one is girl
One of the tricks I use to sex Easter Eggers and Ameraucanas is to look at them from the side. Usually, the girl's comb disappears behind The top of their skull (upper eyebrow?). The comb sits in a little indent between their eyes.
With roosters, when you look at them from the side, you can see their comb rise above the brow ridge. It can be seen usually all the way to the end. If you have that between 6-14 weeks, You can be 70% positive you have a Little Rooster
