I got Mary as a pullet! She has very suddenly started looking like Morty!!!! What do you think? Hen or rooster?

You have a Morty, though posting age would've helped. I see saddles.

My guess is about 4 months. I never got an age when I bought her but she was little. Maybe 8-10 weeks. I’ve had her about 5 weeks now

That’s a cockerel. Male birds have pointy saddles. Here’s some saddles on an older bird.

No they are not. They are the pointy feathers near the tail, as demonstrated by the graph above that @JadeFarms posted.

That's a cockerel.
The tail is not a hens tail.

I'm sorry but this first picture has me cracking up.
