Are these 2 the same breed and sex?

I have 3 Isa Browns and all are supposed to be pullets but 1 looks different than the other 2. I've noticed this for more than a week, the difference being the wing feathers. 1 has very short feathers while the other 2 have longer feathers, does this mean anything?
The first two pics are one bird and numbers 3 & 4 are of a different bird.

usually short slow growing feathers is a roo and longer faster growing feathers r pullets.

or on the bright side coul just be a slow developer

Thanks. I've noticed it as soon as the feathers started to develop, they were just much shorter. And, I doubt that it means anything but that one is least sociable. Hopefully just a slower maturer but feather thing has been so noticeable.

(sorry for whining)

I think it is too early to tell yet for me. I am not to experienced yet. Cute chicks though!

I found this to be true with my speckled sussex. One developed huge wing feathers early at about 2 weeks. They're now 9 1/2 weeks and the other one is just now catching up to her sister. Thought for sure one of them had to be a roo, but wasn't.
