I want to keep it if it is a hen. I am running a nunnery.

If you look closely at #1 I believe you will see light colored lower edges on her breast feathers. Light colored lower edges on the mature breast feathers of a dark colored bird is a positive sign of a hen.

I can't tell anything from #2 with only that picture to go by.
