I would circle back between 6-8 weeks for a more definitive answer

Just looking at the feather tips, one each.

How does that work?

The males have pointier feathers where as the ladies are more rounded.

This only works once they are typically 12 weeks old and up.

Update sept 21 they were born aug 23

Looks like you have a pair. They are still too young in these pics to be positive though. Please wait until they are 6 weeks old and post new pics.

I hear ya! I bought 2 Jubilees from a lady that said they were roosters and even at three weeks, all my research told me they were hens. I tried to will them to be roos, but reality was cold! 22 hens now instead of 20H and 2R.

Goodness wouldn't it be nice if willing them into a certain gender worked?! Better than 22 roosters though I guess.
