My newer flock unfortunately reduced to one from four. So I was able to find two more beauties. I'm afraid though that one may actually be a rooster. My Cinnamon Queen, only perhaps two and a half months old. I'm a little unsure, but this one is a little feisty, and when I was trying to shuffle some of the bedding around with a small stick, the Cinnamon Queen jumped up and side kicked me with its feet similar to my rooster. Also it's a little bossy over the other two. I don't know, just the behavior is different. I know nothing about Cinnamon Queens. But if it's a rooster, I will have to return it because I'm pretty sure my Sapphire Splash rooster will kill it. I have plenty of pictures from many angles so you professionals can look at the comb and tail feathers.

I think you may be correct, that rust-red coloring on the wings and shoulders looks to be male-specific coloring and that comb is awful plump/large for a ~10 week old pea-combed bird. The behavior you've already seen just cements it; you have a cockerel there.
