"It" looks like a pullet to me. A male would have sharper crest feathers and a less puff crest, as well as redder comb/wattles.
 
thanks thats really helpful when should it start laying
Probably when its 5-7 months old. Judging from the comb and wattle development, I'd say not for at least another two weeks. When she gets closer to laying, her comb and wattles and face will become redder.
