Looks like a completely normal red sexlink hen. Nothing even close to resembling a rooster.

Thanks! I guess there is just a lot of variation between siblings. Maybe because sexlinks are crossbreeds, they can have very different characteristics come out in related birds, such as a much bigger comb or tail?

Definitely a cockerel. Do you see that shade of deep dark red in the shoulder/wing area? That's male specific. Also, notice those thin feathers through the back? Those are male saddle feathers.

The last one is an Easter Egger, probably a cockerel. Fluffy Butt and Witherstorm look female.
