I've already realized that one of our 9 week old "pullets" is a cockerel, but please tell me that this one is a pullet. Her comb looks to be a sing row, but it's much more pink than her sister's. But it's lighter than her brother's. Of course, they all may have different mothers, so their breed is unknown to me. Same blue ameraucana dad.





 
At that age the comb should still be orange, it is looking suspicious.

I agree it's looking a bit iffy. From the pics however I don't see a cockerel-like posture. If if seems to have similar mannerisms / posture to your existing cockerel then it may be a pullet. There always seem to be one of a hatch that likes to keep us guessing (or me at least).

I think this one is a wait and see. If there are no male specific saddle feathers visible by 14 weeks old, it's a pullet.
