Tractor Supply got me 😁

The first one: yes, female (going by the color pattern--a male would have a black breast, but yours has a gold/pinkish breast). I think she's Black Breasted Red, because Crele should have white bars, and Silver Duckwing should have shades of gray on the sides and back where yours has shades of brown.

The second one: I see a tiny bit of bright red wattle. That makes me think cockerel, unless the pullet has it too (having a known pullet for comparison can be quite handy!)

Edit to add: pullets will eventually get red wattles too, they just do it later than cockerels--so red on only one might be a good indicator of a cockerel, matching on both is a good indicator that they are the same gender (and the one is definitely a pullet, so if the other matches, then it would be a pullet too.)

Thank you!! Here's a side by side picture of the 2 in SIMILAR position.
