Roos or hens? They are both 3 months old!

I have had both of these since they were 2 weeks old. They are now 3 months old. Is there any way to tell just by looking if they are roos or hens? They seem to fight a lot and the dominecker is really aggressive.

First, I beleive the first one is a barred rock not a dominique. Dominiques have rose combs and this appears to have a single comb. It appears to have saddle feather (long feathers coming down the sides of the tail) and a lot of wattle/comb both very red-thinking cockeral
I dont know what the 2nd one is but it also has a very big comb and wattles-thinking it is also a cockeral

The bottom is it a Rhode Island Red? It sure looks like a roo. The top one looks like it may be as well but I am not familiar with that breed.

I could have sworn the bottom was supposed to have been a BO

BOs are a light organeish color, not red. It could of just been mislabeled.

Could it be a sex link?
