First three pictures are of the one in question and the last picture is sibling the same age

I'd say cockerel. He's got some sizable wattles and comb for that age.

Hmm... looks like a boy. Keep an eye on him though.

That's what I'm afraid off.

How the heck are sexed chicks males if it's brown in color? I thought brown = female and white = male.

That's how it should be.
Either that is an extremely early maturing pullet, or the sex linking was bred badly.

My wife sits, plays, and feeds them all and she's saying it's a pullet because it's just like the other 3 ones that we bought that day and acting just like the 2 older pullets did at this age; size, weight, and demeanor. UGH!

 

[SBFChickenGirl]

I'm going to say pullet... very cautiously.

I thought that was for day-old chicks. Must now Google that.

Let me know what you find out please. We got them at TSC the day they came in and they were brown and did not get mixed with any other chicks there, as my wife was working there the day they came in
