Ok cape feathers look pointy
Not pointed. The feathers are going to look pretty much exactly like this (that is, if you actually have any cockerels)-

The white feathers on this cockerel are mostly pointed, male-specific ones.
They will be shiny and stand out from the rest. They’ll also have frayed looking edges (though pullets can have neck feathers with frayed looking edges, so ignore the neck feathers).
Your gold sebright probably won’t get in pointed feathers even if it is a rooster, though there are exceptions due to being hatchery quality.

Chicks with pointed feathers that are really pointed, shiny, and appear frayed, are guaranteed cockerels. However, the lack of them doesn’t mean “pullet” until 12+ weeks. By then, most cockerels would have gotten in their pointed feathers. And keep in mind that it may only be until 12 weeks that a cockerel gets pointed feathers, though they can certainly show up earlier, it’s less common.
