Honestly, you're going to have to get better pics, particularly of the saddle & hackle areas.

I can't tell either...sorry...
Usually the hens have poofier head feathers than the roos.
They look more like a Las Vegas Show girl than Beethoven.
I think the mystery bird is a girl, just for the difference in the crest.

Hackles = neck feathers
Saddle = back feathers from neck to tail
