Sexing marans at 12 weeks

I believe one is a cockerel? Never had this breed before and it's hard to tell. Pictures are below.

This hasn't worked well .... however I have 3 FBCM youngsters about 12 weeks. I believe one is a cockerel ... am I right? Appreciate thoughts.

I dont see any obvious cockerels. By 12 weeks i would expect to see bigger comb and wattles.

At 12 weeks I’m pretty sure they are pullets
they are really cute!

OK! I thought the one with smaller wattles was male .... thank you!

Looks like all pullets to me,
combs wattles would have been much bigger and redder if male.
This breed is easy to tell by about 4-8 weeks.
