Breed and Gender please (Lily) - Rhode Island or Red Sex Link Hen with RIR Rooster

[valesmichelle]

This chick hatched Valentine's Day, 2/14/2023, so it's not quite 4 weeks old.
At the time the eggs were incubated, there were two roosters on the farm. One was a Rhode Island Red and the other was a Blue Plymouth Rock. The Blue Plymouth Rock was young, approximately 4-5 months old and was only there for approximately one month. There are several RIR, Plymouth Barred Rocks, and Red Sex Link hens, so not quite sure which one she came from; assuming Red Sex Link, but I could totally be wrong. I sure hope it's a pullet. She's just as sweet as she can be.
Best guess to the breed and gender of this chick?
If more pics are needed, please let me know what would be the best angle.

Those are photos of the same chick at two ages, right?

It might be female. See those green feet? If every possible mother has white or yellow feet (you can go check), then the chick must be a female. (There's a sex-linked gene involved.)

But just like with your other chicks, I'm having trouble figuring out which of your roosters has that gene, because neither one "should" have it.

Based on coloring, I think that chick most likely has a Red Sexlink mother, and the Blue Plymouth Rock father (if "Blue Plymouth Rock" is the kind of chicken I think it is-- photos would help.) But it might be possible to get that coloring with a Rhode Island Red father and a Red Sexlink mother.

The chick has a pea comb, so one of the parents must be a breed that also has a pea comb.

Red sex link mother and Buckeye father. We thought the Roo was a RIR, but after more research we have found he is a Buckeye (Pea Comb and all.)

UPDATE on Lily - 14-weeks
She's the one that is mostly white with light brownish red feathering.

She’s very pretty! Do you have a picture of the father?

I do not. He belongs to a friend of mine. We thought he was a RIR but he's got a pea comb. Someone mentioned a Buckeye, so we looked at pics and he looks just like one.

Thank you, by the way! She's a sweet girl.

If the rooster has green or blue legs he could also be an Easter egger
