Feather is the one in front and is the only one fully feathered and has a crown and is bigger than the rest to and they are all the same age
 
I'd post pictures again in a few weeks. Size is an unreliable indicator of gender as you can just have an especially large pullet (My pullet Ginkgo is the biggest of the bunch and has always been and my late girl Parsley was also the biggest of her bunch). Feathering speed also means very little unless that trait is explicitly bred for (I have had fast and slow feathering pullets) Crests are also just breed specific and don't indicate gender at all (I have 3 crested girls and the aforementioned Parsley was also crested. they are part cream legbar). I don't think it's a cockerel so far but it's too early to say for certain
 
Oh, I wasn't suggesting yours were part cream legbar, I was just saying mine are as an example of how crests are a breed trait. There are many other breeds with crests
