I think you have one of each.

if so, I advise against breeding them. Frizzle bred to Frizzle doubles the gene and creates a chicken who has trouble growing and maintaining feathers. You'll end up with half to 3/4s naked chickens.
 
Frizzled BC pullets sometimes develop early. The second one looks like it could be a cockerel, but at 7 weeks I'd expect to see a bright red comb.

I will tentatively say 2 pullets.

Good to know. What do you think about my standard size Cochin. It is 7 weeks old with palish but pinkish waddles and not appears to have a small comb. Well a smaller comb then most Cochin cocks I see at this age. But waddles seem big and producing at a very young age compared to other breeds. I only have 1 Cochin chick so can’t compare it to another.

LF and bantam mature differently. If that were a bantam, I'd say cockerel no doubt. To me it looks like a cockerel, but I believe LF pullets mature a bit early. At least compared to bantams they do.

What’s is LF?
She’s a standard size Cochin. And 3x bigger then my bantam chicks her same age.
