Cinnamon queens pullet or Roos?

[ccnandez4]

Hello! I’m a new Chicken tender and got 5 beautiful cinnamon queens. I’m hoping someone could give me some advice on whether these are hens or Roos? One is redder on the comb but has the same tail feathers. Pics are of two different ones

Cinnamon Queens are supposed to be red sex links.

Yep, red sex links. When they hatch the boys are yellow and the girls are reddish. When they feather out the girls are mostly red and the boys are mostly white down. In theory they should be solid red or white but often you have leakage. That's where individual feathers or even patches of an area can come in the opposite color.

With that comb the first is a boy. It's a little hard to see his feather colors and pattern but it looks like he will be white with red leakage. I cannot see the feather pattern in that last one to be sure but probably a girl.

Thank you! I was pretty sure by the red comb but wanted to make sure. He actually is the sweetest of the bunch so I hope he makes a great rooster

Weird thing is that they all have the same coloring and patterns
