Hi,
Judging by the photos and their age, both birds in the photos are roos.
They already has developed narrow, long, shiny saddle feathers, this is only seen in roosters.
In Brahma hens at this age, the saddle feathers remain short, soft, and rounded.
Additionally, signs of the comb and tail, characteristic of cockerels, are forming.
