This is Sweet Baby. Hatch date approximately May 5. So about 6 wks today. I noticed some red on her comb. Is this cockerel instead of a pullet?

I don't think it's red enough to assume cockerel, especially if it's hot where you are. I'd say still looks like a pullet at this point but still a bit too young for any certainty.
When would I know more definitively? Am I just waiting on a crow with bated breath? 😂

6 weeks is a bit young, give it another 2-4. I will agree that it's too early to be certain, I am going to vote cockerel though just because it is kind of a pink comb, and those are some beefy feet/legs (again, could be a stout pullet, just my vote ;D)
