You tell the gender by the development of their secondary sex characteristics, that includes the comb size and color relative to siblings and overall body size. In older birds, you look for larger combs in males with heavy pigment and wider thicker legs. You also look for hackle and sickle feathers in adults along with possible spurs starting on some breeds as early as 6 months.
 
Can you get a picture of the whole chicken instead of pieces of it??

It is easier for people to tell you if they can see the whole chicken. Head, body, and legs in one photo.

Oh I don't know. I've helped some on here before with older chicks but from what I can tell yours have small pale combs and long tails. Usually male's tails grow slower than females. You may just have to wait a lil bit longer. Are you not aloud to have roos?
 
They both look like pullets to me, too, judging from the comb size and color and the fact that neither seem to be developing waddles or roo type feathers. The first one also has more of a hen type coloring. The second one is more colorful but still, I don't see any roo type feathers.
