Sounds like you are in the same predicament I'm in.
I have 6 and they are all roosters. They are golden red sexlink chicks.
Mine are 5 weeks old and just starting to get some little markings on their wings.
Here's the one I'm keeping.
I'm going to give one or 2 to my neighbor because he doesn't have a roo.
And the rest we are probably going to eat, because I can't keep that many roos.
Here is a link to my album for these chicks.

I've done a lot of research on this lately, because my chicks were a complete mystery to me.
This particular crossing seems to be derived from a RIR Roo, and a plymouth rock hen.
Here's a link.

I think this is what my boys are going to look like.
