I'm not familiar with the breed but the white one looks to be a hen the brown one in the first pic is a roo.

I'd say pullet

 

[dracon]

the brown is a Rhode Island Red and i thought it was a male you can see his little spurs comming through

so a girl then

10 weeks is way too early for a hen to have that red of a comb. Unfortunately, spur nubs are present on both genders, so you cannot use those to determine rooster-ness.

I would say that you have two roos, based on the age you gave.

Yep I would say the d'uccle is a roo. My duccle pullet is 4 months and is just starting to pink up.
