I have 12 Speckled Sussex. Some are still pretty small. I’ve started to wonder about the two biggest though. One has brown legs and the other has ridges across her head. A couple of the smaller ones seem to have ridges too, but none of the others have brown legs. Could either be a sign of having a male? Or is it possible they were misidentified?
 
Hard to say without seeing some pics. Chicks do get mixed up in bins sometimes, or do they happen to be different ages? Even very young chicks will show some comb development, but usually early wattles and bright red color are indications of a cockerel. You may get more help if you post photos, or start a new discussion over here:

Good luck with your new flock!
 
I don’t have a good one of the spikes, but here is the one with brown legs.
Sussex are white skinned, which would give them white legs, which these do not have. They appear to be Easter Eggers
