    I recently got some Rhode Island Reds and the "seller" (I got them for free) said the were a cross of some sort called Cinnamon Queens. Is anyone familiar with this cross or reference? Thanks!

    Up North when it's hot, Down South when it's not.
    Yup. The Cinnamon Queen is just a name. Not a breed. It is a hybrid of mostly red with some white showing. If you breed that to a Red, you'll get mostly red chicks. This is one way, but not the only way, to make a production red.

    Rhode Island Reds, true RIR, are shiny, deep mahogany red, almost dark in appearance.
