The behavior is pretty common display of dominance, not always true mating. Young cockerels of that age "try", if their hormones are kicking up. But, pullets will also jump other pullets to demonstrate their superiority as well.

Three months old is practicing and four months old is early flush of hormones and quite probably successful mating.
