I'm new to this too but I've got to tell you that I have a BR too and she is 9 weeks old. Her comb is maybe 1/4 t0 1/2 the size of your's and her wattles aren't visible yet. Sorry But, I guess in the chicken world "it's not over till the fat, cockerel crows".

I just checked my pictures of my BR hens. Their combs weren't nearly that big at 2 months old.

I lived in the "denial phase" with my favorite Polish. Then the crowing started -- very quickly and very loudly. It took me three days to find a home, and each one of those mornings at about 5 a.m. I was racing outside to shut him up.

All of these chicks are too young to have saddle feathers. Those come in roughly around 3 months (12 weeks). We'd need shots of the rest of the bodies to tell sex on those chicks.
