Would anyone know if these are male or female??

i can't tell very well, but tank looks more 'boyish' compared to the others (he has the largest comb). i'm not completely sure though. Marmalade and tink may also be, but i don't have a front view of them. sorry if i'm not much help! they are all gorgeous either way though!

I agree, Tank looks like a roo to me.. If you could get full body, that would be helpful.

Tank and Captain are looking cockerel-ish to me.

If I have more then one roo can they both be kept?

Yes, they can. If roosters are raised together, they often get along fine. The only thing you may have to worry about is having enough hens. Each rooster should ideally have 6-8 hens. If they don't, some hens may become overmated and get hurt.

I don't have a comment about gender, but you need to remove those leg bands. They look way too tight already, and chicks grow fast.
