Cinnamon queen?

[FocusonJesus]

We have two cinnamon queens, but one has a single comb and the other has a rose comb, i would appreciate any explanations! Here are our girls. Thank you!

Ya IDK but I'd expect at this point the parental lines are very specific mixes. A lot like the Cornish cross where they've been bred and tweaked for decades.
Gotta figure there's big money involved when a company supplies their lines to an egg factory.
With what's to gain they want to edge out the next guy so probably more going on behind the scenes them we'll ever know.

They can have either as they are mixed breeds created using parents with both combs types.

thand you! I appreciate it!

I believe, A lot of the hatchery "cinnimon queens" are actually ISA browns, another type of RSL and are RIR x White Leghorn. Resulting in a single comb.

While the original cinnimon queens are RIR x SLW, resulting in red birds, with rose combs, and some black in their hackles.

I believe you know more about this. Please correct me if I am wrong.

So for example, I believe this is a RSL from the cross WL x RIR

While this one is a RSL from SLW x RIR

RIR x RI White.

But aren't RI White recessive white? Isn't the white in the tail on many RSLs, or more specifically ISA browns, due to dominant white from a WL covering up the black?

 

[EmmaRainboe]

I have no idea what they are. I just remember reading that ages ago.

Arg. I for sure thought ISA browns were White Leghorn x RIR.

cinnamon queens were SLW x RIR

and I do know some RSL are RI White x RIR, but I thought ISAs specifically were WL x RIR.

I don't know anymore.

They use different crosses for their different names. Cinnamon Queen, Isa, Golden Comet etc.

For CQ's, everyone except Hoover's uses RIR over RIW hens.

Ah okay. And Hoovers uses SLW?
