I'm not sure what the beginning of saddle feathers or spurs look like so what's the verdict? Pullet or Cockerel?

Spur buds don't mean much, hens and roosters can have spurs, even if its far less common for a hen to have them. I have a hen that only grows one spur.
At this age, the best way to tell is to look for saddle feathers, like the one your cockerel is growing below, and the size and color of the comb. An EE at this age will have a huge red comb, compared to sisters of the same age, as yours does as well.
So yes, this is a cockerel.
