What is this Chick?

That is a rooster for sure, and a super early bloomer! Look at those giant bright red cobs and wattles!!

Still not sure about the breed, but that red comb is all boy. Pullets don't even start to pink up in the comb until they are getting close to laying eggs, usually sometime after 14 weeks old.

Not true, more like 6-8 weeks depending on breed.

A 6 to 8 week old chick is still at the best still 2 to 3 months from being ready to lay eggs. Pullets do not turn red that early.

Rooster. Mix breed, not a leghorn because he had slate/grey colored legs.

What could this little cutie be?

Dark Brahma or Cochin, depending on comb type.
