The bird in question is single barred. If it is a barred rock it is a pullet.
The other possibility is that it is only half barred rock. With it showing the red comb at 2 weeks I would have guessed it to be a male chick.
Seeing the most recent pics make me wonder if it is a barred rock pullet that just had a red comb at a young age.
Sorry I don't have a clear answer yet.

It’s a barred rock so I’m hoping she just matured early. The comb hasn’t changed much.
 
More photos. 6+ weeks now and the pointy tail feather are making me nervous. Thoughts?

Those pointy feathers aren't really pointy. They're just growing in funky but you can clearly see the rounding. Male pointy feathering is really obvious once you see it.

She's single barred which is a good sign she's female with this breed. I think you're safe!
