Black Copper Marans Roosters?

[EaglesHope]

I am new to the chicken world. I bought 5 straight run Copper Marans and have 2 of them what looks like sparing. They jump up at each other. No one is getting hurt but they do it every now and then. Can anyone let me know if these are roosters? Also how old do you think they are? Thank you so much for your help.

Disclaimer: I am also new to chickens!!! I think #2 is a roo, though. The red comb makes me think it's a boy. The first one has no color in the comb so I'm thinking girl? I'd love to know what more experienced chicken people have to say!

All chicks spar. The second is definitely a male. The first may be. I would guess they are around 5-7 weeks.

Time will tell....
All chicken pullets(girls) cockerels(boys) Do the stand up tall chest puffed out thing.
Cockerels combs and waddles will develop faster than pullets. However if you have five of the same thing that won't help you. You have time to think what will you do with the cockerels if you have 1 or 5.

So it is based on the color of the comb?

Yes. Generally males will pink up by 5-6 weeks, and combs turn red by 8-10 weeks. Females generally will remain orange yellow for a bit longer in most breeds.

This was them the day I brought them home. I was told they were 2 weeks. They looked a little younger. Thank you all for your help. I am grateful.
