At 6 weeks, any that have noticeable pink combs are cockerels.
Of the 3 in the cardboard box, at least 2 of them are males. You can't see the comb on the third one in that picture and I can't identify which one that chick is in the other photos.
Male specific feathers (pointy hackle and saddle feathers) don't come in until later (after 10 weeks....usually nearer 12-14) and colour will not indicate sex as sex linkage is a first generation characteristic only.
