12 week old brahmas. Mottled and partridge. Any ideas? I've raised a good few chickens, but I can not tell if the two big ones are roos or not

12 weeks could go either way on gender. The comb and wattles look pretty red, but it could be a pullet getting ready to lay. I can't really see the saddle feathers from this angle. Hopefully someone with more experience will weigh in.
 
The one in front looks like a cockerel to me. I have no experience with Brahmas though. I have read they take longer to mature so I am doubtful the red comb is a sign of imminent laying.
