Pictures would help

Males have longer, stringier saddle feathers (the feathers on their back). And their combs/wattles will become redder more quickly than the girls.
Females will have rounder feathers

How old are they?

They are around 10 wks

Also, boys can be bigger and can have thicker legs. But hard to tell till they get to 6 weeks or so. I have a 5 week old chick who is smaller than two chicks who act like boys, and with a different shaped tail. Would be sure she was a girl if her comb/wattles were less red, but still not sure.

Male specific feathering "saddle feathers" don't come in until much later. At 10 weeks of age any with larger and especially redder combs and starts of wattles will be cockerels.
