Delusional,or are these saddle feathers?

[Roo5]

I will be separating my 8-9 week old chicks this week and will be doing it based off of male and female.Birds are pretty much obvious at this point and I know who is who.However I have about 3 birds who I’m still having some difficulty figuring out.The bird below is a Buff Brahma who seems to have saddle feathers growing in,the bird doesn’t even look like a cockerel and has always had Pullet body shape/look.Is this an hormone thing or something else, are these saddle feathers ?Figured the bird was too young, the other Obvious Buff Brahma cockerel has the same exact thing going on.l,I’ve witnessed with other birds but those birds were ACTUALLY roosters and it was obvious.

More of these little pointy shiny feathers coming in underneath the regular rounded ones

Face is pale compared to the rest of the boys, but darker then some of the pullets, also the most dominant other then my Easter egger cockerel.

It appears to be a pullet to me. If it were a cockerel, it would have wattles developing too!

Definitely a cockerel

Thought so,that sucks

Idk, those do kinda look like saddle feathers to me

Brahmas are slow to develop, so I'm not surprised that his comb isn't bigger, however, the coloring of the feathers that are coming out on the saddle and on the wings indicate cockerel.
