They both look to be Pullets, but keep watch on the first one. From my experience with Cockerels, and I have a lot, because I always buy straight-run; Cockerels always feather out the slowest. The first one has a broader chest, a larger figure, and lacks any feather development on the back and tail. The other has more feathering and seems more well-rounded in build.
 
They both look like pullets to me also, but I'd keep an eye on chick #1, like another poster suggested.
 
Are you positive they are 4 weeks? I'm posting pics of 2 of my EE pullets at 3 weeks and they are much bigger than the ones you have, and at 4 weeks they were fully feathered in, but one looks very similar to your first one.

Pochahontas is on the bottom of the pecking order but she feathered in the fastest of the bunch.
 
They look like pullets to me. 4 weeks old they look small. We have 5 pullets and they are 2 weeks old and not half the size of the others.
