It varies. Usually not until they are getting ready to lay, which is generally after 20 weeks. But it can happen earlier. I don't think there's any need to worry at this point.

In my experience of birds with crests, male crests don’t come in as nicely rounded as yours have. I don’t know how pea comb affects that. I only have a few that have had pea combs or pea/single comb. But I can think of at least one of my pea comb pullets that has a crest like yours do. So I too think yours are pullets.
