Help sexing my 6.5 Week old EEs PLEASE!

Your second bird is gorgeous. I have an EE cockerel that looks very similar to your bird. Mine are 3 weeks old, but I already know mine is a boy because his comb is coming in straight instead of pea, and he is acting like a roo with the chest bumping and dominating. But he's already pretty, and now I have an idea of how he will feather out. I can't be sure, but chick one looks like a pullet, and your second one is a cockerel.
 
I say both boys. Combs are way too pink/red for that age to be girls. Handsome boys though

Yeah, I'd say they are both cockerels, sorry. Their legs are thick (especially the first!), their combs are really red and will probably get bigger, their tails look to be on the verge of curling into that tell-tale sickle shape, and I think I see some pointy hackle feathers coming in. The first one also has very male coloring, all splashy-like. They are gorgeous boys! I wish I could put one like that with my Marans to hatch some olive egg layers!
 
Thank you everyone for your opinions! I had some bad luck with my picks! I pick five out of the pullets bin and got 3 Roos! Oh well such is life. Thanks again for being so kind and helpful!
