Pullet?

Hey guys, so I have this near 4 week old chick that we're a little concerned about being a rooster. His/her name is Pidge, and Pidge's toes are slightly "fatter" than our other chicks, the length of Pidge's feet seem to be the same as the others though. Pidge is very unaggressive and is generally a little shyer than the others, which is not what I typically think of as rooster behavior. Today we noticed Pidge has pink wattles coming in- that combined with its comb (not the biggest in the group, but extends slightly farther back) is suspicious. Pidge is by no means the biggest of the group, Pidge was born last out of all four chickens, which may explain why he/she still has some of his/her baby fluff. We have no idea what Pidge's breed is, and since all of our chickens are different breeds, we don't know how/if we can compare and contrast them. The second youngest chick, a little Salmon Favorelle, also has a lot of baby fluff, but all of them have their wing feathers in. Pidge also has their tail feathers coming in, something that the SF has yet to grow. Pidge hasn't crowed or been very loud at all- actually one of the quieter ones. Pidge has also been doing this weird sweeping thing with his beak- using his face/beak to brush the wood chips in a sweeping motion. Not sure if that hints at any rooster/specific breed traits that anyone may recognize, I'm super new to raising chickens and still have a ton to learn. I know that Pidge may be too young to sex, but I was just wondering if anyone had some insight on whether or not we should be cautious or I'm getting too ahead of myself. Thank you so much for your patience and help!

I have three 7 week old Ameraucanas. I believe my light blue is a pullet (only posted two photos of that one as I am 90% sure it is a pullet), but my dark blues I am not sure what gender they are. Completely different tail feathers. Comb colors different but I don't see defined ridges to confirm roo, but I have never had a roo, so I don't know exactly how defined they should be! Help!

Both 1 and 2 look like cockerels. See that darker shading through the wing? That's pretty male specific.
