Can you post a side view too? They look like girls to me :). I ended up with a barred rock roo that was supposed to be a girl. He grew much faster than the hen and tail was very prominent and he was taller. hope they are girls!

Definitely look like girls :) here is a silly video of mine when they were only 3 months old (born same day!) you can see the difference:
