Does my 3.5 week old white leghorn look like a rooster??

I don't know why I've been wondering. I have 3 white leghorns and 3 Rhode Island Reds. I'm not curious about any of the RIR. They all seem very "henish" to me. But two of my leghorns just make me wonder. I know leghorns naturally have bigger combs but they are also the most aggressive. Not in a bad way though. Just the "bosses". And sometimes I see them puffing up at each other. Do hens do this too? Like they stick their chest out and act like they wanna fight but they don't. Anyway I'm attaching pictures.

The above pic is of them puffing their chest up at each other.
 
I'm by no means an expert, but the comb does look a bit suspicious. We have an 8 week old leghorn who doesn't have much of a comb and is supposed to be female. Time will tell :)

Also, we've had females who puff up and bop chests on occasion.
