Roo's? Please say no...

I'm trying to determine if 2 of my 8 chickens are cockerels... One is an "Ameraucana" (or EE?). The other is a Welsummer that until recently, I felt confidently was a female. Now she has quite the red comb, and s/he is larger than her sister. Any help sexing would me much appreciated! They are 11 weeks old now.

"Bruce"






"Olive"

Mmm not sure about the second one but first one looks EE pullet but she has that deep red on her shoulders.... maybe roo? Wait for some more responses? I'm not an expert. 2 of my pullets ended up being cockerels.. After a while one of them started crowing! But i here hens crow too!!

the first one is an ee cockerel no eggs from it and im not sure on the other one looks like a cockerel to and it looks like a speckled sussex not a welsummer at all

Bruce is an aptly named EE cockerel. Olive is probably an Oliver. Definitely not a Welsummer, but probably a Speckled Sussex.

The second one is a Speckled Sussex Cockerel.

They all look like cockerels to me.

Thanks ChickSlick! I see you are in Washington... Are you looking to add any cockerels to your flock? I'm in Seattle city-limits, so I can't keep them. They are cute and friendly!
