Hi

I agree that #1 is a girl. Your second one is a rather difficult one. It is rare but some piggies can have both genders.

I would recommend that you test for the presence/absence of a tiny penis shaft (like a little uncooked rice corn) under the skin just above the genitalia. Sows are just smooth in that area. That is often the clincher but one that is not available to us online.

You can find a reference picture as to where to feel. Try the mother and sister first. A male bump under the skin is very small but distinct when you feel gently in that area are.
