Lavender Orpingtons - gender help

Here they are at about 9 weeks. Still a little unsure. I'm sure one, if not two, are pullets. The third (lighter color) has a turned up tail and slightly redder comb and very early waddles. But that same chick is smaller than the other two and no one has thick legs. Holding onto a bit of hope!

The first one in the second picture looks like a male. I think the other two are pullets but I'm not sure...

Yup that's the one I'm worried about!

I swore up and down mine were turning into roosters, but they never did. It's best to wait for rooster feather development before calling them roosters. Mine have been very perplexing and nothing like other Orpington varieties.

I am thinking they are all pullets. But to be sure, wait until around twelve or thirteen weeks. Then you will be able to see any roosters feathering. I only say this because orpingtons are a little slower developing.

Same issue here! Mine are 14 weeks old, and I have never had orps, so I'm baffled. I'm hoping for pullets... but.... :-(
Can the knowledgeable and experienced please help?

Here is another shot...

Updated pics of the possible roo..just about 13 weeks old. They don't stay still so sorry for the poor quality!

Size wise, he is no larger than the other two.

To me, yours look more like pullets and mine like roos.. They're about the same age..
