1st one is male (I think it's single combed? Can't see it too well)
And I'm on the fence with the second one, I'm leaning female based on tail growth but the comb looks roo-ish.
Update in a week or 2
 
Ok, update on my original chick in question. The grey (would s/he be considered grey???) from the beginning of the post. Here are some updated pics. I don't know guys, this one is a real stumper. I still don't know for sure what gender this one is. I threw "him" in my bachelor coop because I thought it had some streamers but I'm just not sure. It is approaching 17 weeks old.

And comb compared to an obvious roo that is about 2-3 weeks older.

looks male to me, and lavender?
 
***UPDATE***
Yesterday when I was out working in one of the raised beds, I thought I heard an unfamiliar crow. I went over to check out the bachelor coop and there was this boy (Garrett) crowing away! Mystery solved and congrats to all who guessed cockerel. 😉

I'm actually pretty excited he's a roo. I'm really hoping he truly is a lavender because I have a sweet little buff hen I'd like to breed him with to get some Blue Creams. 😍
