I purchased 4 Cooper Maran chicks that are now about 2 weeks old. We got them at 5 days old. I believe they may all be roosters. Can anyone tell?

We are thinkin
In my experience, marans have faster comb development than some breeds. However, to my eye, I’m seeing two, possibly three cockerels based on these photos. Let’s see what others have to say!

We are thinking the same. Thank you
 
First pic...I'm guessing all 3 on left are cockerels.
That's what I thought too. That's a lot of comb on chicks this age. The chick on the right is noticeably lacking comb in comparison, which makes me think pullet. But I am no expert.

At 2 weeks old, a lot could change with the chick on right. Could be just a slower developing cockerel.
