Are these both Jersey Giants and can you tell the sex?

The feet are different and I wondered if that was a sexing thing or just a simple variation. Also, the one on my open palm is smaller than the rest of my chicks (out of 2 Cochins, 2 EEs, And 2 GJs) while the one on top of my hand is significantly bigger than the other chicks (they are all 5 wks).


 
They certainly look like Black Jersey Giant chicks to me. Don't be concerned about their size at this point as JGs are very slow maturing.

If they are JG than the bottom of their feet will be yellow. Australorps have white bottoms!
The bottom of the feet are yellow with some faded black on the one that is huge (on top of my hand), and the one that is two x smaller (on my open palm) has pure yellow bottoms of the feet. It is so odd because they are the same age, and one is literally twice as big as the other

They both stand out from the group, one being way bigger than the others, and one being way smaller than the others
