Hi, welcome to BYC! :frow

Both look like pullets still but there's a big difference between 3 & 4 months.

The pink spots on the toes and comb are genetic breeding quality stuff, maybe partly caused by the paint gene disrupting the melanin.. but not uncommon to see in other color varieties either.
