It’s hard to tell with that red light but is that reddish feather on shoulders? If so, I’d say rooster. With that comb and those large feet/legs.

The under coloring is more of a brown in my opinion, but remember I'm the looking for help lol

Summer of 21 I hatched out some Exchequer Leghorn eggs, my first Leghorns so I was all over the map on sexing the chicks even at sixish weeks.

Found and bookmarked this resource- with pictures of a White Leghorn every week from hatch to lay!

It's not the comb that makes me think cockerel for your SGE, it's the wattles... Plus the red shoulders/wings. Really hope I'm off, it's going to be a pretty bird!
