Boys will generally have bigger comb and wattles turning red before the girls' do. If you look about two thirds of the way down their back, above where the sickle feathers emerge on a mature cockerel, the feathers will have pointed ends. On girls these have rounded ends. They'll also have longer primary feathers on their wings, again emerging before the girls' do.

Are they leghorns?
-
the legs are a good clue - cockeral chicks usually have big gangly legs.
