First one is male, bottom is female.

Their eye patch area becomes one of the first giveaways as they begin to mature.

Yep, Top is cock, bottom hen. The cocks will show spur bumps at a very early age.

yep top male, note he is getting the green feathers, 2nd is a hen. Ringnecks are easy to sex at day old, by the face.

They look like Green Ringnecks to me, Melanistic ( aka- Blacks) are usually darker.
