these birds are 4 months old now. one is darker yellow out of the 4. it seems to be the most dominant and has thicker legs but one of the 3 light ones is getting the tall comb and bigger wattles.

in this one you can see the hackles on the darker one its in the middle there

the one front and center has the comb and the one in the back is the darker one

let me know what you think.
 
In the first picture it looks like the two on the left could be male. I'm no expert by any means but I have a 14 week old buff, so not quite 4 months but she looks very much like the one on the far right in the first pic. I could be wrong, maybe yours just had combs that grew faster than mine but that's my guess.
 
At 4 months old all those birds are pullets, no sign of hackles or saddles in any of them, they should be getting ready to lay soon hence the darker larger wattles.
