If just 8 weeks, you've got a cockerel there.

Those feet say boy, hard to tell with the fence and being such a very white bird but I think I see the start of more boyish saddle feathers.

Males don't develop male feathering until 3 months.

That is a good timeline but nothing is set in stone when it comes to chickens except that they are indeed chickens.

It's not set in stone. Yes, i'm sure some early developing cockerels will develop male feathering at maybe 10 weeks.....(although i've never expirienced this) But i don't believe any males develop male feathering at 7-8 weeks.

Not normally. My Crele OEGB's male specific plumage came in at 8 weeks, as demonstrated here.
