IMHO, it's too soon to tell. We had a 12-week old "pullet" we named "Chirp-Chirp." At 16 weeks or so, he started crowing. His comb, wattles, and rooster feathers all came in late.
 
My educated guess echoes the first two responders to this thread, Chick 1 appears to be a cockerel, Chick 2 appears to be a pullet.
It is still too early to call with utter certainty, as absolute certainty without a vet would involve seeing your bird lay an egg. Hens can crow, if they've a mind to, but a rooster will never lay an egg.
