Judging by the tail feathers and legs, too me the first picture looks like the left one is a hen and the right one is a roo.

Agree, SLW was probably the dad. As of right now they both could be pullets. I don't see any saddle feathers starting yet. My both my SLW and GLW hens wattles and combs were getting red at that age. Your chickens don't have very large combs or wattles yet either. In the next 2-3 weeks you should be able to tell for sure.

I agree both could well be pullets. Combs/wattles small and quite pink on that one on the right in the first 2 pics...and her(?) legs are slim and pullet-y. The feathers don't scream roo on either one.

I say pretty girls. We'll see.
