Its easy, all of them are male, why?
Most chick will get separated by gender after they hatch by an expert, the female will become an egg producer, while the male, em, grinder?..., well in short they have more uncertain fate, some people do keep them as a meat, a cockerel meat arent that great tho, so only a few people do that, some were paited and sell as a pet like that pic, but this is also only a few of them, the rest is grind.., well you know.

I agree with @sealer39
But they are still quite young, and even female Leghorns have such large combs... I would wait a few more weeks and post pictures again.

Dunno, but as long as they grow long red comb and start crow then you'll be sure, why bother tho, yours is definitely male, there's only a low chance that you got female, if someone who separate it got eye problem them thats a different case. i also had some chick like that before all of em become cockerel.
Why dont you ask the seller before, i ask mine, and he said all he have are male.
If you want female then just buy from the hatcher, but they usually only sell with a minimum number usually a box maybe 100 or so, i never try this tho, or just buy retire female egg layer, its not completely eggless, its just that their productivity get lower.

Gender should be clear by 8 weeks, although it can vary.
I would suggest posting on the breed / gender forum.
