Cinnamon Queens-- cold hardy?

[wrenm]

I'm interested in this breed, but in my area (KY/TN border) we can get silly cold snaps j(-13 this year) in winter and heat waves in summer (100-105 for a week or two at a time). I have RIRs who do fine in both, but we're looking to diversify, and I found the hatchery I use sometimes hatches Cinnamon Queens. I'd assume since they are near me that the birds are cold/heat hardy, but does anyone have any experience with them?

Red sex links are quite weather hardy.

Mine sure are!

Hello and Welcome to BYC!

Glad you decided to join. There is tons of information on here, so I'm sure you'll find answers to all your questions.
I'm not that far from you, and my sexlink girls do fine.

Cinnamon queens have been some of my best layers thru winter and summer.

Sounds like everyone approves. Welcome to Backyard chickens, hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Welcome to BYC!

I'm glad you joined us.

I've never kept Red Sex-Links myself, but I've heard that they do fine in heat and in cold.

Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided join to our flock. I've owned Cinnamon Queens (one of a number of labels under which some hatcheries market their Red Sex Links) and they will handle your temperature range with no problem. They are laying machines and you should get loads of eggs from them. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.
