This is Mabel
I thought I had a duo of sister and brother white leghorns. But now I am thinking brothers....
Or does Mabel have the female amount of comb and wattle? The majority of my flock has pea combs so anything comb looks like male to me. It looks a shade lighter than the brother but I don't have a lot of experience.

The picture with both white leghorns: Margarine is on the left, Mabel is on the right
 
How old are they? Leghorns have large combs anyway/develop them quicker
I have had them for 9 weeks. The farmer I got them from said they were between 3 to 5 weeks?
I would say she is smaller than my 12/13 week chicks. But she was also sick originally with eye infections.
 
Females.. comb isn't red and isn't overly developed for a leghorn. As City said they eventually get large red floppy combs so I say pullets
This is the brother Margarine. He is a male, yes? @mrskenmore
