I decided to add to my small flock this year so I went down to my local tractor supply and picked up a mix of Cinnamon Queens and Isa browns. My girls are a couple days shy of 4 weeks old and I noticed last night that this baby's comb is a little more pronounced than the others. This one has totally different in coloring too. Nowhere on the Internet have I found a chick with the same coloring. I'm pretty sure she's a he but I'm holding out hope that I might be wrong. What do you guys think? Also, is this truly an Isa browns??

That looks like a Rhode Island Red cockerel. Cinnamon Queens and Isa Browns (which are basically the same thing, but called different names) are Red Sex Links, so their genders are determined by color. (Females are red, males are white.) He must have accidentally got in the wrong bin, and because of his color, nobody questioned that he was a different breed (or gender for that matter).
