Previously I thought this was a cockerel because it developed a pink/red comb early but now at 6 weeks I’m thinking maybe pullet? Opinions? I have 2 that have the pink red combs like this.

Yes leghorns. Here is one I have certainly pinned a cockerel for comparison.

In my opinion, cockerel. Leghorn pullets can grow large combs earlier than other breeds but they do stay pale pink. My Leghorn wasn’t red until she was 1 week away from laying.
 
Darn I was really hoping for the first picture to be a pullet, he is very friendly, may keep him since he’s so friendly. Thank you 😊
