11 wk old cuckoo marans. Hen or Rooster? At 7.5 weeks I was told she was a pullet, but now I'm not so sure. What is your opinion?

Here are my girls - will be 19 weeks old tomorrow - sorry I couldn't get a better picture, but beauty always pushes in front!

Coloring looks like pullet. I bought 2 on 8/4, so about 5 weeks old. They looked identical, now look. 1 pullet (darker) and 1 cockeral (lighter). According to what I have read about the breed, the color is more of an indicator. 2018-09-08 015.jpg 2018-09-08 021.jpg

Not the tail feathers, the saddle feather down the back. The two cuckoos in your other photos have nice rounded saddle feathers, the one in question appears to be getting pointy ones. Could just be the photo (or my eyes?)?
Looks like my little lady and she is laying fine...? And her butt is pointier than fishnmama
 
I don't see saddle feathers. She has always had kind of curly wing feathers and they go every which way. Hope when she molts they come in straight ;) She is definitely dark and not light in coloring. I certainly hope she is a she as she has the most beautiful feathered legs.
