male sex link or female barred rock???

Uh Oh, I heard a cackle from another this morning. I will get some pics and post them so you can help me with them. All the combs look the same as the rooster. None of them look like in the photo at the same age.

Ill post them soon.....
 
Here are the other two now in question....they do have the same roo sound and the same sized combs. What do ya think? They are starting to fight with each other more and more. I feel kinda stupid not knowing but....in my defence I am new to chickens and I have never seen other BR to compare to. I really appreciate all the help.

Im in the process of putting the video on photobucket so you can hear the sound
 
I'm not too experienced, but the first one looks like a BR-cross roo to me...
And the other two look like both roos, if they're only 12 weeks.

That's definitely a crow in the video; we had a BR roo, and you can tell by the way they tense themselves and bring themselves up before they crow (I mean I think all roosters do, but...)

I'm not very good at this. But all of my Barred rock roos were quite a lot lighter than those two. But at 12 weeks, with combs and waddles that big and red, I'd lean towards roos. Also they have very yellow legs to be hens.
