Saddles reason for full body. Only found in a rooster. (Except sebrights)
I could tell from pic 1 it was a hen. Her comb is tiny and black.

I would expect eggs very soon! I like to put golf balls in the nesting boxes because they can't be knocked out.

I agree; most pullets begin laying from 20-25 weeks, an occasional one a little later, so you should be getting eggs before long.
