Ok, my 6 week old "PULLETS" are SLW's. I have 7 total and 4 of them have single combs that are bigger than the 3 that are pretty much flat on the head. I am ASSUMING that I have more roos than pullets, but I am TOTALLY addicted to try to figure this out before they start crowing or laying, whichever happens. So, here are the pictures!
First is a flat comb. I am mainly putting her on here for comparison.

Then a comparison shot.. the previous pullet is on the right.. kind of blurry reaching for the treat.

Ok, then the bigger single comb. ( I know that SLW's aren't supposed to have single combs but some slip in.. well... ) This is the same chicken that is in the comparison shot.

Thanks.. like I said, I am totally addicted to seeing everyone's chickens and guessing myself! Thanks!
 
I'm going to say that the one with the single comb could go either way. By the time my SLW's were 4 weeks old, their combs were VERY red. Your's does not seem like it has a super red comb. Is its body shape very different from the other ones?
