The hens with black in the tails are Production Reds. The hen that is red with some white is a red sexlink.

Red sexlinks are a cross breed. As such, there can be a wide range in temperaments. They are typically hatchery sourced, and most hatcheries do not breed their stock for temperament. Most red sexlink types are a cross between a Rhode Island Red or Production Red rooster and a silver-base color hen, usually a White Rock, Rhode Island White, Delaware, or Silver Laced Wyandotte. Males are white with some red and the females are red with some white.
Whether he is aggressive or not is more of an individual thing, when it comes to cross breeds and hatchery stock. You basically have equal chances of nice versus aggressive.
