On a 3-4 month old chicken, will these change to actual points or stay round? I know pointy neck feathers mean cockerel and round means pullet, but I'm not sure how these fit in.
 
I have finally decided that this is a late blooming cockerel. I see a pointy saddle feather in one of the pictures, and what looks like sickle feathers growing in on the tail.

Not to mention the splotchy white patches on his wings.
Absolutely agree. I noticed the saddle feathers and sickle feathers, too. While he doesn't have much of a comb going yet I vote ROO also. To the OP: any crowing going on??
 
No crowing yet, but I'll be on the lookout! Thanks for the help
