I think you might have one male there. The other two look like females but the one with the more developed comb may be a male. Not sure though.
 
I think you are right on the sexes, but I'm not sure you have buff orps there..they look like they have yellow legs and beaks. Could they be buff rocks?

Nope, they are buff orps, they have pinkish shanks, and beaks. Although the babies have yellowish legs, they turn a whitish pink in a few months.
 
I have 8 chicks the same age and they have the same look. I think the over-developed comb and wattles are the only thing you can go on at this point.

I do have a chick that I thought was a girl, but grew a comb almost overnight, so now I'm not so sure.

Time will tell.
