Do brown leghorn pullets normally have a big comb at 4 weeks?

My brown leghorn has pullet feathering (light breasted and has no usual brown leghorn cockerel plumage) she has a five point comb and it's pretty big not red though thankfully. Is this normal?
 
Agreed. Leghorn pullets get a big comb pretty quickly, but in perspective as a full grown hen their combs are also much larger than other breed hens as well. As long as it’s still pale you are good.

I'll have to post a pic at some point but her comb is now a bit pink

I don't agree that leghorn pullet chicks really get bigger combs earlier then many other breeds. Maybe a tad but not enough to say it's really a thing.
With brown leghorns the pattern doesn't lie though if you're familiar with the difference and seeing the pullet pattern then that's what you have regardless of comb size.
