New to this chicken thing. I was given a group of birds a few weeks back and told they were all hens. These 2 seem to challenging each other around the clock and happen to be the only 2 that have the larger waddles and comb at their 12 weeks of age. Wondering if they might be roosters? Any input would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

They look like they are both hens to me, do they have any spurs yet? Some hens can be more agressive to each other it just depends on their personality and breed.
The op says they are only 12 weeks old, spurs only come it at about a year. And some hens have spurs.
These have rather red combs for 12 weeks, and at least on the grey one you can clearly see the darker, pointed saddle feathers coming though.
Just trying to be helpful : )
