I'd like to know too, honestly looks like a pair to me, male in front hen in back, press your fingers in the center of the brest a see if you feel a beard starting to come in, they look very young to me, so the lack of a beard will not be a indicator of sex yet, though they should have a nub started by now.
As for all the other poults listed, they are way too young to sex yet
Yes hens all get along fine, they may bicker a bit here and there, but no harm with them. Males will usually get along fine if placed in the pens together especially as poults and allowed to grow up together, if mature, a new tom will get attacked by the dominate tom if you put a new one in the pen

My hen has a beard, so having one of those does not mean male...I thought it did until she started laying eggs

Wow mine are like 4 weeks old. I thought mine were getting big fast WOW

Yes yes, I have 2 that do too, but it is like a .005% chance of that happening you are 99.99% sure of it being male if it has a beard, The bearded hen thing only happens once in a rare blue moon.

Those things are 5 WEEKS??? They look like 5 months
If this is the case you wont be able to tell for several more months. I'd still have to say the front bird is a male though

On the first picture I'm thinking a pair as well, the one in the back being the hen. She still has fuzz on the head where the one in front doesn't. Also the one in front has more caruncles.
Some you can tell by the feathers like a Bourbon Red or Bronze. The hens will have white edging and the males will have black on the feathers.
