Did I get 2 Roo's again?

I bought 8 chicks yesterday at a local feed store, was planned! I'm down to three 2 yrs old hens of my previous 7 chickens [2 were Roosters](lot's of heartbreak). This 1st chick is supposed to be a Red Sex link, I got 3, other 2 look like pullets but this one is really friendly and gives me cockerel vibes. I know the patterns vary but I can't tell, maybe too early. I also tried to pick out a cockerel on purpose since losing my Buff Rooster, I picked a Barred Rock and chose one that has a VERY faint spot on head, gives off cockerel vibes too. Lighter color legs and likes to patrol and more upright standing. What do you think? Thanks in advance!

Red Sex Link pullet or cockerel?

Barred Rock male?

Sex link yellow is a girl, white is a boy. They look like girls.

That's maybe an black sex link. should be a girl. To early to tell.

I did buy 4 black sex link pullets, this "barred rock" looks different.

It's not a Barred rock, not sure what it is though.

I'm ok what the outcome is, especially if it's a cockerel. I combed the internet and someone mentioned that if it is a barred rock, missing the spot or very faint and a male it won't be barred or maybe just black. I know nothing about this genetics stuff lol

Definitely pullet on the sex-links. The "Barred Rock" is too young to tell.

The BR looks male to me.
