All Hens ?
At 6-7 weeks some people were claiming a couple of our girls could be roo’s. This is our first time chickening (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/first-time-chicken’ing.1305820/) so we don’t know all the common signs just by looking....now that they are 12 weeks should be able to mostly distinguish by now...?.

Well, I'm not seeing male or female saddle feathers, but these pics make it difficult. I'd take individual pics from the front and from the side.
That said, I think your barred rock is a cockerel for sure, and maybe the EE. I'd get a pic of the EE from the front, and give it about another two weeks for male or female saddle feathers.
 
They're all female

The color of both of those birds is female specific.
 
Thanks !!
We were told...
Lavender orp
Blue splash orp
Black aust
Bar rock

All are very docile and let you pet & hold them. Some roost at night some cuddle up down below in the shavings, none are really more dominant over another wich seems weird..

Here’s some more of the 2 that were in question in the first reply...but I like everyone else saying all female
