Look like pullets to me as well. Check out this link: Sexing your BOs

 

If you know the age of your girls then it may be good to add your pics to the article.

I am thinking that A is a roo, hatched June 1, has really red combs and wattles, mine were hatched May 5 and aren't red like that at all. B looks boyish to me to, hmmm, maybe I am just thinking crazy tho! lol tongue.png But I am going to have to say 100% roo and B 90% smile.png
