Sexing my Lavos

[bbawk]

I have 11 lavos (lavender orpingtons) 14-15wks old I still need to sex and I'm looking for consensus (or votes!).

The combs/wattles seem to fall into two distinct groups, and I'm wondering if it can be that simple, or maybe those birds just happen to be growing faster due to some other factor. There used to be 12 birds, and I already culled one as cockerel. All dozen came from the same hatch, same supplier.
