I have three lavender orpingtons that are about 17 weeks old and they are the only breed out of my fall chicks that I'm unable to 100% figure out.....I believe I have two roosters and one hen. Thanks in advance!

Two cockerels and one pullet as you say.
Here’s a photo showing the main difference between roo and hen

As you can see the pullet has rounded feathers and the cockerel has sharp pointed feathers.
Hahaha yeah I can't seem to see pointy saddle or hackle feathers on them yet all my others chicks have grown them ha but my friend had some lavenders that we thought for the longest time could be hens which were not
 
I can't seem to figure it out either. Maybe because I don't have another to compare it with. Would anyone like to try sexing my 6 week old Lavender? I can't have roos in the city either...
