My thoughts are first pic is 2 girls, second pic is roo.
The wing feathers seem lighter than the other 2 but the black on the legs is throwing me off

The second pic is very much a little boy. In the first picture, the chick on the left does seem to have a very large headspot, but I'd need to see it from the back. Lee's pretty good at sexing the BR's, too, so he could be right, although the coloring seems more pullet-like. Remember that there is the 5% or so of pullets who have a headspot that says "boy" when they are in fact little girls, like my Lexie did.
 
I was thinking of my recent hatched BR boy, looked exactly like that at that age, but it might be a pullet.
 
The 2 in the first pic have darker feathers, the 1 in the second pic has much lighter feathering as of now. He also stands taller than the other two.
