Quick question are cinnamon queens, isa browns, golden Comets, and gold sexlinks the same thing?

They are all Red Sex Links.

For all practical purposes in a backyard setting, they are interchangeable.

So I am wondering about something to do with my little cinnamon queens. I know they are sexlinks, color wise and one looks pretty different then the other. One is white on the back and the other is red. Do you think I have a boy, I hope not because I will have to get rid of him even though cinnamon queens roosters are so pretty. @Quarterhorses1 do you have pics of your babies to compare?
Here are pics of mine
The first one is red, the second is more white

So another question are buff Orpingtons just super slow to feather or is mine just really weird? She has NO tail, only small wings, and a *few* feathers around her wings that just appeared 2-3 days ago. My others (1 sapphire gem and 2 cinnamon queens) have tails already taking the "v" shape, nice sized wings and have much more body feathers. They are all 2 weeks and 2 days old. They are eating Purina start and grow and have hydro hen powder (electrolytes, probiotics, and acidifiers) and nutra-drench in the water. She is all good otherwise and just as active as the others.

Cinn Queens are Production Reds - everything about them is fast, though they remain small. I have no experience with Buff Orps.

Ok thanks, I figured about the cinnamon queens, but also the sapphire gem? Even my EEs had some kind of tail by this age

most of the green egg layers are mutts - there's not a lot of consistency in who does what when, that' I've noted on these forums. I've not owned one myself.
