Wanted to confirm gender before rehoming

[Duckydos]

I'm 99.9% sure this is a roo. I just wanted to confirm before trying to rehome him.

I think girl still. The feathers look shaped like a female chickens so I would hold off on the rehoming.

Both are cockerels. They don’t get in their male specific feathering until 12 weeks so there isn’t a way to tell from that aspect. Both combs are huge for a EE/Ameraucana to be a pullet at 8 weeks. Pea combs for pullets don’t get that big until they are close to laying.

What breed of bird are they?

We have australorps - can you post some full body shots? It's easier to see cape and tail feathers.

 

[Duckydos]

yes - to me it kinda looks like a girl

That one is a rooster - far more signs of a rooster than the 1st one. They look completely different! The same age, right??

Yes same age. I thought the same thing especially with the red coming on under the chin.. I don't know the technical terms for it, I'm new at this

Here is a reference of a roughly 16 week old EE (with ameraucana in her lines) pullet’s comb to show what I am saying.

Update! It is in fact a roo... he was crowing with the other ones this morning

The rooster was a black australorp and the hens are a splash ameraucana, easter egger or a buff orpington. 4 of them look identical so I lost track of who came of the brown egg vs the blue.
