I hatched 3 eggs from my red sex link chickens and 2 were roos. Red sex link roos are white and hens are red so they're easily identified at hatching. My one roo has his combs and even my hen got hers but the second roo has nothing. He kind of looks silly but he seems to be EXTREMELY docile and so sweet. I wasn't sure if maybe he was developing late or if something is wrong with him? Anyone ever see this before?

Red Sexlinks don't make more red sexlinks as they're mixed breeds.

So you more likely have 1 cockerel, & one pullet.
 
Thank you!! Now it makes sense with the missing comb and sweet demeanor 🤦🏼‍♀️ I guess some things are correct that you read on the internet! Lol I read that while researching but didn't know if it was correct.
