OP: yes...I was basing it on feathering. Out of all the chicks I've had, the feather method has failed me only once...in a pair of cuckoo Marans. I realize I'm no expert (yet), but it's what's worked for me. You should be able to tell by comb in the very near future.

Honestly I think both look like boys but im not 100% sure.

I'd say Rosie is more fiesty than Soupy, but then again, I'm more fiesty than my husband, so that doesn't mean anything!

Are you really chickens? If not, then it is a whole different ball game

I think you have one boy and one girl. I think the more feathered one actually looks more boyish to me. I found that the feather sexing wasn't very accurate with my chicks last fall.

OK, so here are some updated photos of Rosie & Soupy. Any guesses as to their genders now at 4 weeks old?

Rosie has the LONG tail feathers like her mother & Soupy has a shortish butt:

Rosie is nearer the camera and Soupy is in the background:

Sorry to say but they both look like cockerals to me. I know they are crosses but with pea combs that wide and raised I say 2 cockerals, sorry again...
