- The Cinnamon Queen is a popular hybrid of chicken with lots of hype surrounding it. Steve talks about these chickens and explains weather the hype is worth it.

I absolutely love my queens. They come greet me when I come home. Very sweet. No peeking issues. Very friendly, funny girls. One doesn't want to get off the nest, which is odd to me. I didn't think they went broody.
Great friendly hens lay extra large eggs. You might need a rubber band to keep egg cartons shut .
I saw the Cinnamon Queens on the Cackle Hatchery site and was curious about them. Thank you so much for making the video about them. Very informative and glad to hear they are such prolific layers. 🐔😊
Glad it was helpful!
We have 5 Cinnamon Queens, all are 13 weeks old. Cinnamons are definitely pet like and social. They will not wait for you to pick them up, they fly up and perch on your shoulder or head. They love to be petted and make cooing sounds when you do. We have 3 toddler grandsons and the cinnamons are great with the kids. Supervised of course.
Oh wow! Sounds like a great flock!
The cinnamon Queen chicken!!! #Queen #Perdue
👍
Have one Cinnamon Queen and she's a very friendly workhorse hen who lays big beautiful light brown 🥚 .
I have been breeding necked necks since 2018. I now have blues, bantams, and Jersey Giants. They are great mothers and most are great hens protectors
Sounds like a great flock!
thanks so much
You are very welcome!
Look man, you can’t say “…..why did the chicken cross the road” without providing us with a legitimate answer. We all want to know the real reason. You have chickens along with this knowledge, and you choose to withhold this from us. One day I’ll know…….and then I’ll be unstoppable, I think.
😂
I've often wondered if a cross in bantams could make a small kitchen window layer, some do lay fair sized eggs?
Give it a try! 😁
I have a question I can't seem to find an answer to. Maybe I'm just over thinking it. But when you say any offspring they have can be a modgepodge of colors, given their parents were hybrids, does this mean those offspring are a different breed themselves, or are they still considered cinnamon queens? Do they lay the same as their parents?
Great question! Being a hybrid, the first generation will generally have the same characteristics, but their offspring do not breed true. This means each individual bird may inherit some of the traits of their parents, but not all. So technically they are not Cinnamon Queens, but a non-specific mix. The more generations that pass, the less they will resemble their Cinnamon Queen ancestors.
i have 3 chickens 1 is new and ive had her a little over a week she is a buff im not sure what my other one is thats picking on her but my other one is a longhorner and shes doing better with the buff but the one thats picking wont let her in the house during the day at night she has started walking in the house but i think its because its dark and the others cant see her so shes not bothered ive takin the bully out and seperated her for 2 nights and 3 days but shes still a brat also shes not drawing blood just chases her around and blocks the door to the house in the daytime .do i wait it out ? will the bully leave her alone eventually ? any advise will help thanks i love your channel . robin
The bullying may get better or may get worse. It’s a fairly common problem to have…in fact we did a video on the topic. Hopefully it helps:

You guys are dangerous to follow… I’m going to end up with far too many chicken breeds for the size of my yard! 😂
That chicken math can confound the most well intended hobby farmer! 😂
I read cinnamon queens are prolific layers. We got 6, and they've been really inconsistent laying. 1 egg a day, 5 another day, 0, then 2, then 1 egg a day for the last 2 months. What can we do?
They are fairly prolific layers, but there are lots of reasons they may be laying inconsistently. Here is a link to a video we made on the topic a while back:

@@HobbyFarmGuys thank you!!!
Sounds like it’s your feed. That’s way off from normal
I love my queens
Glad to hear it!
Q: I have a cinnamon queen with an extra large comb and very large wattles. Is this a hen or rooster? Any idea?
Those are signs that it might be a rooster, but it is tough to say for sure without seeing it. Here is a video that talks about how to tell:

@@HobbyFarmGuys I sent a picture to your fb page. All the signs suggest rooster

Greetings!!! Kars looks like a beautiful part of Turkey!
I have had 20 Cinnamon queens for over a year now. This video is mostly true but not completely true. They make very poor meat birds. With being cross bred there are also negative traits that come out with age they never tell you about. They are very prone to pecking and cannibalism. They continually seem to pick the weakest individual and they torment it until death. once it is gone and dead they find a new weakling to bully. While these birds have provided a continuous supply of eggs I see these birds best suited for individual commercial caged. Mine are on their way of being replaced now with Heritage Orpingtons that are a dual purpose bird and more mellow. Never again will I raise queens.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Over crowding leads to pecking and not enough of high protein feed. And its true laying breeds are never great meat chickens in case they are heavy breads.
@@sethb9545 I feed 20% organic protein and I have a way oversized place for this flock. I am standing firm that this is a product of hybridization.
