do 6 week old brown leghorns look the same because roos have red on them and both of mine look kindof like an adult hen so would a pullet and cockerel look the same at 6 weeks
 
the cockerel's color will be different. he'll have a darker chest and the pullets will have a lighter brown chest. And yes, the cockerels have combs and wattles by 4wks old. My pullets are now 15wks and are just barely getting any height and color in them.
 
This is a White Leghorn pullet and a Brown Leghorn cockerel at 6 weeks the my Brown Leghorn pullets look the same as this White.

I went out and took the pictures, since apparently the one I said was a pullet was incorrect.

Here is the eight week old cockerel.
