Gender?

So I have 5 lavender orpington cross chicks that are about 11-12 weeks old I thought all but 1 where male but I'm second guessing 2. I do apologize I'll try to get more pictures but since they just came out of the coop this morning they wouldn't all stand still.

Trying to confirm they are male, I need more pictures. On the 4 pictures below only the first picture had one of the ones in question

The 2 black ones in this picture. The one on the right is obviously female. The one on the left I believe is male. LOxEE. The comb looks male the waddles are a little small (he did not get beard and muffs) the color of the comb and waddles are to dark for a female but seem light compared to the other male. No hackle/saddle feathers at this piont. Has yet to get tail feather

Well never mind on this picture that is the female LOxEE

Oh the brown and black right there in the middle large red comb and waddles, brown hackle feathers. He is LOxRED (don't worry about some of the others in the pictures they are 14-15week close to laying pullets

Ok so this is the LOxRED again, male

The 2 LOxEE look almost identical as far are comb waddles and feathers go, I'll try to get more pictures as I missed the second one all together. The 5th is a LOxCinnamon queen, male but I'll try to get pictures of him as well

I think the two last pictures are cockerels. Second pic pullet. First pic possibly pullet, but I'm leaning towards cockerel. Better pictures would be helpful.

I'll haveto remember to take my phone to the coop when I lock up tonight. It's got today so everyone had being hiding.

Yes the last 2 pictures are the same chicken and definitely cockerel, the second picture is the known female is the one with the comb in the first and a second like him that I'm second guessing

Ok i got a better look at the 2 this evening next to some of my 14-15 week close to laying pullets. And I'm going with I just want them to be girls but they are really boys. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as the rooster was slow to mature also and with a mixed flock is only to be expected. I think the fact that the one already has hackle feathers and these 2 don't yet was what threw me. The brown and white chicken to the left of some of the pictures is the other cockerel from that hatch. And Roosty in the back grounded the big lavender orpington is the father he was getting a little upset about all the light.
