I was sold an Isa Brown and a Cinnamon Queen but as they’ve grown into pullets I’m confused!
I thought the red white one was the Isa Brown but it looks like a Cinnamon pullet. The red with black doesn’t look like any Cinnamon Queen or Isa Btown pullet I’ve seen. Any help?

BTW: the others are 2 ameraucanas, 1 Dominique (black white) and 1 Sapphire Jem (grey).

Cinnamon queens and isa browns are the same thing.
Not in this case!
ISA Browns are strictly RIR x Leghorn, I believe, and are always brown/white. Often, people sell ISAs as Cinnamon queens. But the original Cinnamon Queens, some of which are still bred today, are SLWx RIR. They have reddish brown/black or sometimes plain brown/red patterning, and often have rose combs.
So the brown/red/black pullet with yellow legs is, I believe, an actual Cinnamon Queen.

They both are red sexlinks yes, but from a different hen/roo pairing. Queens typically have darker feathers like black in some areas including the tail(some may also have rose combs but not all). ISA however will be brown/red and white, no black and will have single combs only.

I am aware. I'm not even sure how you found this thread, but yes. This is something I have researched over the past months and am now very familiar with.

Just for clarity Cinnamon Queens are Rhode Island Red X Rhode Island White. Anything crossed with White Leghorn will be white with Black flecks. Also would be white eggs.

If they were all that combo none could have rose combs and many do... especially those from Hoovers, so they must use a different mix(RIR and SLW are also used by some)? ISAs however are usually from RIR/RIW)
