Read this link in my signature, sounds like you've done a great job, I wouldn't be to worried about keeping them in separate coops at that age.

look here Timeline of a Chicken.

Sounds to me too like your doing everything right, not sure what you want to do with them?......cockerals and pullets don't mate til they are close to laying age.....most cockerals are slow to mate til they are more mature....depending on the breed it can be from 19 to 25 weeks or so.....pullets at point of lay will squat for a rooster....
