    I need help identifying which one of these OEG chicks is the is the rooster and the hen.
 
Far's a pullet, close is a rooster, looks like Black-breasted Red. (BB red) Black breast feathers always mean a rooster, the hen will usually be less colorful and if she's of duckwing type (those are) the head color will match and breast.

A tip for sexing BB OEGB chicks: dark chipmunk stripes around eyes = girl. Lighter stripes = boy. You can tell sex at hatch with those guys.
