Are these the same breed?

[Aidyl]

We were given these birds and were told they are copper marans. I've never had this breed before, but the differences in appearance stand out to me. One has a much larger and floppy comb, smaller "ear lobes" (please give me correct name if I'm wrong), and large wattles. The second one has a much smaller comb, much larger "ear lobes", and slightly smaller wattles.
Your thoughts?

Look the same to me!

Thank you. I forgot to mention. One has feathers on her legs and feet the other does not. And their eyes are so different.

Your clean legged one may actually be a red sex link.
Marans are known for their copper colored eyes. They normally have feathered legs but they can be found without feathers as well which of course makes differentiating more difficult.

Good point!

Egg color is a good indicator. Also the color of skin on the undersides of their feet. If it's white or pinkish white, then probably a Marans. If that area is yellowish, the probably a black sex link. You could well have one of each.

Thank you all so much. I've noticed that my newest chicks I bought which are called Midnight Majesty Maran also have feathers on their legs.
I appreciate all the answers!

These are the 2 eggs I get from them. I'm 90% sure the smaller comb hen is laying the really dark brown egg, and the larger, floppier combed hen is laying the lighter dark brown speckled. I don't have a camera in with them, but saw her in the nesting box earlier this morning and later on found this in the box she had been in.
