I'm leaning towards cockerel as well.

here is a pic of a hen and a rooster so you can decide for yourself. The one on the left is my rooster and the right is my hen.

It is a bit early to decide, but roos usually have streamer like feathers near their heads, though that one probably doesn't have them yet, considering its age. Definitely try looking at some comparison videos and photos.

The comb is giving no indication that I can tell, but a more front-on view of it might show a "walnut" forming.

In another couple of weeks, it should be a lot easier to discern as the comb will grow or not, and the feathers on the head/neck and tail can then be an indication.

The white one is a rooster for sure in my opinion. In my experiences when they have their puff going back their a rooster.
