Mine are 3 months old. Some say point feathers some say saddle. Feathers I wish someone would come in take tipsters. End my questions over each one

the only sure way is to wait for them to crow or lay eggs

Photos didnt show.
Shiny, pointed saddle feathers, shiny hackles, big comb and curly, shiny tail feathers should start to be evident by now,
Hens will have fluffy, round saddle feathers, have a larger pelvic (wider then a roo), smaller combs (big and red if laying) and not so shiny hackle feathers
