I still can't tell if it's he or she

What about her being taller than her sisters?
It is possible to have one pullet that is much taller than her sisters.

But it is much more common to have a male be taller than his sisters, so yes that does suggest male (not a certainty, but definitely a detail to keep in mind.)

His/her brother lately started crow and never mated with hens.
Assuming that one is also 9 months old, you definitely have some slow-maturing birds there. That does make it more likely that the bird in this thread could be male, if there is a brother who is also maturing very slowly.

That definitely answers that! Pointy male saddle feathers mean you have a male.

(Only possible exception: females with hormone issues can grow male-type saddle feathers too. But they are rare enough to ignore most of the time, and I do not think you have one of those.)
