Breed and gender of my impulse buy

I was on a mission to get 2 brown egg layers around 2-3 months old to put in with the rest of my young flock—-request from my hubby. Been looking for a few weeks now and saw a post for Black Maran pullets-3 months old. I actually questioned one of pullets being a cockerel in my mind BUT got distracted with idea of new chickens! I get them home and really start to examine. One really does look more cockerel—very calm and sweet tho. Also, my latest question is are they actually marans? There was a maran roo there for sure...but theres no feathers on legs with these.
Update: I noticed a couple tiny feathers on legs!

Marans don’t always have feathered feet there are 2 different standards. I feel like that comb should be bigger for three months if it is Ifact a Maran cockerel

That was the point I made to myself early on when I dismissed cockerel idea and got both. I have a 2 month old phoenix cockerel that has a larger comb in proportion to his body than this one does. Im not experienced enough to know if my thougts on this were a logical comparison lol! Good to know about feathering. This was def chicken being raised for eggs and not show. Thanks for the reply!
