I bought this girl along with a couple other chicks and she’s supposed to be a girl just unsure as she definitely has a pretty red comb but wanted an opinion from others as I’m really hoping I’m just over thinking it. She’s not really much bigger than the others

It's very early to tell with araucana crosses, they're notoriously different to sex. She/he is an araucana cross, so an easter egger. The comb seems quite red, how red is it compared to the other chicks? I tend to find the cockerals have a redder comb and the pullets have a more salmon colored comb. I use the comb colour as a clue but it isn't definitive. I wasn't able to sex my araucana x barred rock juveniles until they were a minimum of 10 weeks old.
 
A bit early to be certain, but looks like a cockerel.

Post updated pics in a few weeks.

He did turn out to be a cockerel but he is not a cross in Australia cuckoo Araucanas are apart of the breed standard and they have tails

Oh sorry my mistake, I'm in NZ and our araucanas also have tails but cuckoo isn't a recognized colour :) (I dont think anyway).
