How do I know for sure if my 6 week old chick is a pullet or a cockerel?

Ultimately, time will tell. When in doubt, wait for an egg or a crow.

I'm not in doubt, but my dad and my agriculture science teacher are because Fuzzy and Lucky look similar. I say most definitely pullet for Lucky because she doesn't have a red comb extending to the back of her head or a trace of wattles.

It is not always easy to tell, but could you please post a photo showing the legs and a profile. Some people only look at the comb and wattles but I want to look at the whole bird. A lot of these things are only indications that they might be, but a cockerel tends to have thicker legs than a pullet. Cockerels tend to have an upright posture where pullets are more bent over. Those are the things I'm looking for, in addition to comb and wattles.

I may not be able to tell, but another photo could help.

Of course. Here's a photo with her legs in it.
