Copper Maran sexing?

[grrunble]

Hello! Need some help sexing my 10 week old chickens. I know one for sure is a cockerel, but the other is throwing me off.. any ideas? The first is the cockerel, second is the mystery. Has a comb but it’s much smaller than the other one’s and is very pale, if that makes any difference. I’m assuming a male but I’m unsure...

The big combed one looks like my black copper Marans cockerel. My girls had much smaller combs which were less pronounced as they’ve matured. The ladies do have som iridescent feathers, but nothing like the proud crowing boy.
