I would say those are males. I have heard (and seen on my own cockerels) that chicks who around this age who have yellow tips to their combs are male, though it fades into red as they grow. However, that could be a myth that is only for some breeds.
 
I'm going to switch my answer and say pullet; I remember me having pullets that had yellow on their comb as well.

Also, what breed is s/he?

She is mixed…but I am thinking she looks a lot like a white leghorn??
