6-7 week barred rock pullet or cockrell

I think all of the barred rocks have a white spot on their heads when they are little.

correct.

The size of the white dot should identify the gender I believe. BR are sex links I'm pretty sure.

They can be autosexing, but that trait has been bred out of a lot of hatchery birds.

I ha w three 6-7 week old barred rock chicks, and this one is getting red under her(?) chin, has a more pronounced comb and a few other differences. Think she is a she?

Here s/he is a week later...more assertive and curious (aggressive than a week ago), the first to investigate every new thing. Anyone more confident than a week ago? S/he is whiter than my clearly hen barred rock of the same age, then the reddening waddle and comb.
