Cinnamon queen pullet or cockerel

[Cg1979]

This is Hattie Mae, and I'm hoping I don't have to change her name to Henry. Please tell me she's a she? I'm including some pics of her now, and some from when we first brought her home (a couple of weeks ago). She came from Tractor Supply and is supposed to be a pullet, but though it's hard to see in the pics, her comb is coloring up much quicker than my other chicks, and so are her wattles. She doesn't look like the pics of cinnamon queen pullets that I've found online, but then I haven't actually found that many.

The other three are a buff orpington, a barred rock, and a Sapphire gem.

Way too early to tell.

That's a Cinnamon Queen cockerel. It's chick down is light and it's feathering in white because they're sex-linked. Females would be a brownish red color.

That's what I was afraid of. Why would "she" be sold as a pullet at TSC? I am pretty sure that roosters aren't allowed where I live.

TSC is notorious for mislabeling chicks. There are countless incidents of this happening on BYC and even when I visit local TSCs they almost always have chicks mislabeled

The one you are asking about is the one front and center in the first pic, right? In the second pic I see a barred rock (behind the feeder), a buff orp (light, in the back), and a sapphire gem (grey, front left). With the one in question between the feeder and waterer and in the last three pics as a younger chick?

That doesn't look like a cinnamon queen of either sex. Pea comb (CQ should be single). Patterning on the wings. As @Rhodebar Lover said, TSC mislabels chicks all the time, but I am pretty sure you got something like a Wyandotte or Easter Egger/Olive Egger of some type rather than a CQ. Too young to tell sex in a breed that isn't chick down sexable.

This bird has a rose comb which is very common for Cinnamon Queens. They are a cross of Rhode Island Red and Silver Laced Wyandotte so rose combs are almost the norm in this cross. Here is the link to them on the TSC website (which is where I pulled my picture from)- Cinnamon Queens. Here's a quote directly from TSC as well, "Cinnamon Queen Chickens are easy-going chickens that take the best qualities from their parents, Rhode Island Red roosters and Silver Laced Wyandotte hens. Cinnamon Queen Chickens are wonderful egg layers that get their cold hardiness from their parents and are mostly rose combed."
