Our 2 pretty Ameraucana Pullets...or is one a roo?

These two are around 10ish weeks. We picked them up from their breeder today. Please let me know what you think about their sex. There is the white one with beautiful yellow around her eyes and yellow feet and then the darker one.

They both are pullets, but the lighter colored one is not a True Ameraucana. She has a single comb and yellow legs. The darker one does appear to be a true Ameraucana.

Yes, she said she is not pure. But I wasn't sure how else to refer to her. I'm very new at this.

Yes, I agree with Brahma Chicken5000! Since this is not a true Americana its hard to find the gender because I'm not sure what breed it is, and what the comb development is supposed to look like. If i'm basing my judgment on the size of the comb I'm thinking it does look a little "roo" ish. Does it act like a roo, standing a different way etc?
Good luck

I wish I knew, lol, since I am new I really have no idea. The white one is very very gentle and sweet and the silver is kind of a brat. The white has a completely yellow comb. She is 1/4 bielefelder.

The comb on the lighter one shows no signs of reddening and there is no wattle development, hence a pullet. They look to be around 8-12 weeks old.

As I am looking back, it looks as if they are both pullets. If they were males they would probably have bigger combs and wattles and they would be more red. Hope this helps!

They are both hens. It’ll be interesting to see what the lightly colored grows up to look like

I agree, I looked back at the pic, and there was not much wattle development either!

You are all so knowledgeable, I love hearing your input! The funny thing is that the breeder was sure the white one is pullet, and mostly sure the silver was, but because it has some reddening of it's comb, she said she can't be 100% and would refund me if it was a rooster (I can only have hens).
