Pullet or cockerel? Help!

[Angle1110]

We bought two Ameraucanas/Easter Eggers (I'm learning they're most likely Easter Eggers despite being labeled as Ameraucanas when we bought them). One is looking a little different than the other. The hackle feather and comb seem to be different. I believe they are around 6 weeks old. Do I have two pullets or possibly a pullet and a cockerel? I've labeled them 1 and 2 in the pics.

Both look to be pullets. They're too young for sex specific hackle feathers and to be completely honest, I think hackle feathers are misleading and shouldn't be used to determine gender at any age. At 10-12 weeks saddle feathers are much more clear to sex.

Pullet

The hackle fathers on the first chick have an optical illusion because of the pointed patterning on them. It's difficult to sex EEs through comparison because they can look so different from eachother. Both look like pullets to me.

I’d say both are pullets!

Thank you. We had been gone over the weekend and she changed a little on us. Her comb is pinker. I've been reading up on different chicken facts and started wondering after noticing the change.
