Rooster?

Her color also reminds me of my easter egger hen!

Ok so i probably have 2 pullets, but can it be that the darker one is maturing slower? I think i still see feathers growing longer the light one has been laying for 3 weeks now

It's entirely possible they mature at different rates and not uncommon at all. It is also common for some bird to start laying much later when maturing during diminishing daylight. It just started increasing again. But she is not even really red in the face indicating that she is not yet ready to lay.

I have seen boys crow MUCH later than 8 months... but never have I seen one grow in pointy saddle feathers or redden up in the face that late, YET.

Can it be a rooster? The question is about the dark one, they are about 8 months old i had no crowing but in behavior ther is so much difference.View attachment 1988308 View attachment 1988310 View attachment 1988311 View attachment 1988312 View attachment 1988313

She's a pullet - just maturing more slowly than your other pullet.
