I have a chicken about 18 weeks old and dont know the gender. Can anyone tell me if it is a boy or girl and maybe the breed (if you don’t know, don’t worry I’m more concerned about the gender)

Looks like a pullet. Hard to tell breed just for a headshot. Can you post some full body pictures? Where did you get this chicken?
I got this chicken from an white egg but we found it and picked it up not knowing what breed of chicken it was from. Let me explain because it might sound a bit weird.
My grandad owns a field and next to it there is another field and this man had chickens which were laying eggs that were hatching, the man didn’t want anymore chicks so he said if we see and egg pick it up so we can use our broody hen to hatch it.
So, I don’t know what breed they are from...
But here are some full body pictures (sorry they aren’t good they are still scared of me )

It looks like a Golden Comet cockerel.
 
Can you get pics of the saddle area? that's the area right in front of the tail, behind the wings.
I hate to say, but the red leakage on his wings and body points to cockerel, even though his comb and wattles aren't that big. How long has he had that darker pink comb and wattles?
Saddle feathers, for reference.
