Gold looks definitely hen. Black and white is iffy, but the tail saddle feathers I can see in the first pic plus the larger comb make me think boy.
The black and white’s saddle feathers also reach all the way back to the vent area. I’ve read about round vs pointed saddle feathers for sexing, but I’m not sure which “hers” is. We named her Puffin, because as a chick she reminded us of one. She’s also gets pecked by the hens, not sure if roos will be put in the pecking order at a young age?

Older hens will peck the younger chickens to establish a pecking order, regardless of the gender of the younger chicken.

I'd wait a bit longer to see if Puffin gets more rooster physical traits or starts acting like a rooster.

These are the male saddle feathers:
