I have two golden laced Wyandotte. When I compare the two, one looks more rooster. I also have a barred rock that I am worried about as well. They are about 9- 10 weeks old. I'm a newbie!

Given the size and redness of the combs and wattles on all of them at that age and the light barring on the BR, it looks like you have all cockerels.
 
I'd say look at the two Wyandotte if their comb and wattles look red and not pink or yellow, they might be Roos, also if they have thicker legs than same breed chicks the same age, they might be Roos, some people can tell just by looking at their strut or dainty walk lol
Good luck, I'm keeping the one I'm 90% certain is a roo till he cries because I'm only 90% sure.
 
Started with 10 chicks (all considered pullets), have a guaranteed Aracauna rooster (he shows every sign plus "doodles" now when I open the coop windows in the morning) who I'm already trying to find a home for. Now If these other 3 (posted above) are roosters as well, that's 4 roosters out of 10. How disappointing is that. Feeling heartbroken
