Suspiciously Large Red Comb/face?

This chick is young, so I am expecting the "wait it out" comments but I am curious if this crazy little creature is a likely cockerel. The comb seems so large and bright colored for as young as it is. The pictures where the chick is held it is 3 weeks old and the photos of the chick in the grass are of it at 4 weeks. Slow feathering and a red face lead me to believe this is probably a "he" with no flock mates to compare it to.

Maybe I'm getting to blind, but I don't see a big red comb or wattles? It is very early to tell. I'll be curious to see what the more experienced people say!

LORD JESUS IS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!
I may be more paranoid than you are blind, so it could be that it is not very large or red! Especially with no chicks this age to compare it to, seeing any color made me curious.
