I have a (2 days away from being 7 weeks old) Golden Laced Wyandotte chick that seem to have a much redder comb than the others.It could be just the heat outside but just in case..

It could be a cockerel which develop their combs before pullets.
I dearly hope not as I already have 2 rooster's, my other wyandotte's have pinkish combs too this one is just the reddest which is why I thought it might be a breed thing.
 
I’m still thinking pullet. Wyandottes are known for "pinking up" earlier than some other breeds... The cockerel (Golden Laced Wyandotte) in my avatar is 10 weeks. It’s really the wattles you need to keep an eye on. ;)
 
I'm not sure (not enough experience) but I had two glw last fall who kind of worried me due to redness. They both were pullets.
Byc members assured me the feathering pattern/ color was female. Yours looks very much like mine did.
