the one on the right is def. a rooster I know... but the one on far left is developing far more faster than the hen in the middle...IF the one on the left is a hen...

the rooster on the right looked like a rooster for some time now, but the one on the left just started really maturing...is it possible that its a hen and maturing faster than its sibling in the middle?

far right is definitely a roo, see the feathers in front of the tail? They are thin and pointy, they are sickle saddle feathers. Can't see the saddle feathers on the one on the left.....got another pic?
3 months, probably too young to lay....
 
I thought the rooster was maybe from a different batch as he was a tad bigger to begin with...but not sure. Thinking the other two are also that same age...got them all together

is it possible that the two hens(?) are just developing like growth spurts - differently?

now you have me second guessing, 12/13 weeks seems a little early for pullet, but also seems late for roo to start developeing too. I will stick with my first guess, 2 pullets one roo.
 
could easily be a slower developing roo.....I have it happen all the time....
do you have another pic so I can see those saddle feathers?
without a pic I am going to say 2 cockerals and a pullet.....

eta- his neck feathers are also a shade darker....along with some of the wing feathers....
I don't have this breed but it just seems like a cockeral to me
