How old are they?

Yes, at almost 3 months, they definitely look like girls.

They are 12 weeks old now

I had my hopes pinned on "Yellow", partly based on difference in size. This one is so much larger than the other two.

I tried to blow up face and tail feathers. Hope springs eternal.....

This one looks like a boy to me. Aren't those pointy saddle feathers? Much redder in the face too. I had
one crested boy that was a very late bloomer.

This is what I'm hoping. The first pictures were too dark to show that. I was planning on trading one of them for a roo but now thinking I'll put them in their own pen and wait for eggs or breeding behavior. They are in such a large area right now there isn't really a way to tell who is doing what

That one looks like a roo to me. I have a similar one - and the comb and waddle grow really fast - and large - once they reach 3 months.
I'm getting excited. The 8 SFH eggs under my broody should hatch this coming weekend. Can't wait to see what my first SFH babies look like.
