Do I have a rooster?

The pictures below are of two black copper Marans that are 14 1/2 weeks old. The one with the bigger comb and wattles is Lily, she also has smooth feet. The one with the small, pale comb and wattles is jasmine and she has feathery feet. Does Lily look like a rooster based on the face. I can also get a full body picture if needed. I feel like Lily has always been slightly larger than jasmine but I’m not sure what to think. Any ideas?

Gender is best done from free standing profile shots, but from what I can see at 14.5 weeks old, I think both are pullets with one being earlier maturing.
 
You BCMs are missing the "C" component at 14.5 weeks.

Those looks suspiciously like my Black Australorps.

The 2nd is definitely a pullet, and at almost 15 weeks, I'd be hard pressed to say cockerel but the comb is much larger than my BA girls at 1 week older, but much smaller than my 5 boys.
 
Lily on the left, Jazzy on the right. And you can see the copper coloring coming in on lilys neck in the picture below
