Light Brahma, 10 weeks, Sex?

Hey folks,

1 of my 8 chicks (supposedly all pullets) has had a red comb and waddles since about 7.5 weeks and is also much taller and larger than my other light brahmas. The other 7 have small, barely raised, salmon colored combs and are just barely getting their waddles 2.5 weeks later.

Other than that I'm struggling to find differences between this one and the others. I know brahma chickens can be difficult to sex until they are older, what should I be looking for? If there is something that sticks out in these photos, can you tell me which photo (I numbered them) and share what sticks out to you or where I should be looking as they develop?

Thank you!

The below chick was not thrilled with the sound the camera made, so she's a little fluffier than normal:
