The chicken to the left is a Buff Orpington and the right is a Red Sexlink, but not sure about the middle. She....or he was supposed to be a red sexlink too, but the don't look the same.

One is a buff Orpington, one is a Gold sexlink, and one is a Red Sexlink. Red and gold sex link pullets will be gold, red, or brown birds with some white feathers. Males are mostly white with just a few red feathers.

I was worried it may of been a rooster. I will look into the gold sexlink. Thanks for the help

Gold sexlinks are basically the same as a red sexlink, they are just a lighter red.

Bantamlover21, is there normally such a variation in color in red sexlink? The other is much darker.

Yes - this is the nature of mixed breed birds - even birds from the same two parent stock birds can have a pretty significant difference in their final plumage.
