How old?

At 5 months I would expect saddle feathers and a much redder comb....and crowing.

I haven't heard ANY crowing from the boys. Not even the ones that are 110% male lol also none of the hens have laid their first eggs either. I think they are a little younger than 5 months honestly but thats what the seller told me for age. I thought the silver lace cross was definitely a girl tho but I'm not confident in that guess now someone else on this page told me it was a rooster from an older post? So now the lace and the Orpington I am really unsure about lol

They look younger then 5 months.
They do look like cockerels.
If I zoom in to the pictures, I can see the saddle feathers, & I see the sickle feathers coming in.

You would say both the lace and the Orpington are boys?

Yes.
My experience with Orpingtons, & Orpington crosses is that their combs grow large, & fast.

Here's my Orpington mix at 4 months old.

And that's a boy? This is my first chicken owning experience so please bare with me lol. See mine is a lot like that but its suuuuuper big and "poofy" feathers. The comb and wattles arent really big in my opinion tho, not compared to the other boys I have anyway. And they are a light pinkish color not red (idk if that really means much?)

How old?

Roughly 5 ish months

I also have this Orpington cross. Originally thought 100% hen but now I'm questioning my entire flocks gender! this bird is the same age but HUGE in comparison to the rest
