Seriously?

Every time i go to my coop, one of my reds looks...well...different. Getting thicker tail feathers, hackles are getting long (looking a bit like Fabio). Always glistening. BUT, the comb/wattles, while being redder than the rest, are no larger and we have no real saddle feathers to speak of. I originally estimated 10 weeks old, but now im wondering if they may be younger. Is it possible that i just have a late bloomer (or the largest 6 week old chicken in the world)?

Are the feathers pointy or rounded?

Getting more pointy, although i wouldnt say triangular so much as spade like
