Got these two to add to our existing flock, as they are growing up, starting to think they may both be cockerel? Thanks!

I think you have two pullets, myself. One does have a slightly larger comb, but it's still relatively small. The comb is also pale, and I see no wattle development. I would at least hold onto it for another few weeks to be sure.
Thank you all for the feedback! Also wasn't planning anything immediate, I actually regardless of what they are would love to keep them :) See how the next few weeks/months goes. The one suspected to be a male was picked out by my oldest, and he/she almost died as a chick and we were able to save it, so it's had a long road with us already. My wife who by far eat's the most eggs in the house is a bit freaked out at thought of a fertilized egg, so if it is a male, the kids may have more luck then I to convince her to keep it.
