Welcome to BYC! It's great to have you.

Always great to get kids into the hobby early on. Please do consider what you will do with cockerels should any of the three turn out to be so - many people don't anticipate quickly enough the day their little chick becomes a young cockerel and starts crowing his head off! It can be very hard to rehome cockerels, so if it's necessary for your situation, please try to identify males and advertise them for new home as early as possible. While many roosters can be extremely friendly and great pets around children and adults alike, they need a goodly amount of hens to keep them from overmating them and so a rooster may be too much for a small flock (less than 8-10 hens).

Other than that note, enjoy raising your chicks!
