The Cinnamon Queen is a popular hybrid chicken breed known for being prolific layers of large, light brown eggs, developing beautiful cinnamon-colored feathers, and having a friendly, docile temperament, often used as a “sex-link” for easy identification at hatching (males white, females colored). Created by crossing Rhode Island Red roosters with Rhode Island White or Silver Laced Wyandotte hens, they are hardy, active, and excellent for backyard flocks, though their hybrid nature means they don’t breed true and have a shorter lifespan.
