Amazing that I still am not sure of the gender of these two birds.
They are big, tall, lanky birds. They act like hens, but I see curling feathers in front of their tails.
And the other roosters from their hatch have huge combs and are cock-a- doodle doing already.
One has clean legs the other feathered legs.
They are marans.

I was going to say pic two is a roo and it looks like the last couple photos are a hen at least to my eyes.

It has clear saddle feathers. It‘s a boy.
 
Thank you for your help.
Are they just late bloomers? They are acting just like hens.
