What breed are my babies & please tell me they aren’t little boys.

What do you mean. Sorry I’m green!
I'm sorry! Meaning if the comb is much pinker than the rest and bigger, and the wattles are bigger than the others at an earlier age it's possible that's a roo. Sometimes they don't show those signs early and either a crow will tell you or he'll start to grow pointy saddle feathers. These will be right in front of his tail on his back. Here's a comparison pic

Here's what they look like grown out. A hens stay rounded.

I'm guessing the feather foot is some color of cochin, and the other is a white laced red cornish.

Both of those guesses are based partly on comb type: I think I see single comb on the feather foot, and pea comb on the other. But it can be hard to tell comb type on little chicks, so I could easily be wrong on both :)

For gender, I'm pretty sure the feather footed one is a cockerel, and I would consider the other to still be unknown. It doesn't look like a cockerel to me at this time, but because some cockerels develop more slowly than others, I don't yet trust that it's a pullet.
 
Poor pictures but here is a 2 week update on Britches & Ruby
