You won't really be able to tell until they crow and they are way older but the way I could tell my barred rock was a rooster was it was a way lighter barring pattern and his comb was already pink/red when all the other barred rocks I had still had little orange combs that hadn't really come in yet. I can't really tell from your picture the one on the lefts comb color but they both have lighter barring patterns than my barred rock pullets.
 
BRs can be sexed by the colors. The males have wide white barring, making them appear lighter than the girls with the wide dark barring.
I'm suspecting cockerels, how old are they?

As quoted:
One male one female the lighter one is male the darker one is female.

But these are just guesses they are a little to young to tell
