dominiques comb question

I have 2 dominiques and they have the rose comb.  One of them is getting more points on his comb than the other.  Does that mean rooster? I thought I read somewhere on here that more rows of points is rooster and one row is hen.  is that correct?

 

Pictures added: See how it has lots of bumps all over it?

Here is the other one, notice how it has just one bump at the top and the rest is flat?

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

Do you have pictures of the two? Usually you can tell by how big and red the comb is...

Rose combs are flat. Do you mean pea combs? I don't think doms should have pea combs... the standard says they should have rose combs. Which as I understand don't have points.

 

Pictures would help a lot.

The 1st one looks like a cockerel and the 2nd one looks like a pullet.
