Where did you get your chicks?

I got them from a family near where I live.

Did they hatch the chicks themselves from Cinnamon Queens? The parents have to be set up in a precise way to get sex links. You cannot use sex links to make sex links, the genetics don't work that way.

With that comb that one is a boy. Unless you know his parents were set up correctly genetically I would not count on him being a sex link.

He actually is the sweetest of the bunch so I hope he makes a great rooster

That's not how it works, unfortunately. The males tend to be more friendly and social with people when they are young, because they are more brave and less afraid of the humans. This leads people to fall in love with them and expect them to stay sweet and friendly as grown roosters, but then the people are often gravely disappointed when the sweet chick turns into an absolute bloodthirsty jerk when he grows up. How much you handle or love them as chicks doesn't seem to matter for how they're going to turn out. If anything, the ones handled a lot tend to get meaner when puberty hits, because they've lost their fear and respect of the humans and think they can get away with anything. You may get lucky and end up with a peaceful rooster, but chances aren't on your side. Roosters are a crapshoot and most of them are not worth it, unless you either 1) really really need a rooster for some reason, and 2) you have a lot of experience and know how to deal with a rooster if he starts challenging you. That's why they are not recommended for beginners. Keep your pullets once you are certain which are pullets, and seriously consider getting rid of the cockerels one way or another (rehoming, cooking, etc.)
