Hello byc freinds!!!

[TheChickenMan13]

I am new to byc and chickens in general. My wife and I have 2 cinnamon queen hens. They are right around 6 weeks old and growing by the day. Had a late start this year, but started none the less. We are putting the finishing touches on are coop this week and excited to move are chicks to their new home. If anyone has any knowledge of this breed I would greatly appreciate it. I know enough about raising them to get me by, but am looking for breed specific info. Thanks everyone!

Welcome! I've never heard of the breed before, I'll go google a picture


edit: They look exactly like my red sex links. Are they a true breed?

Hello everybody and thanks for that info redsoxs. Ill deff look into it. I have seen people call them "hybrid" chickens, and I know the first generation is sexlink. I'm trying to pick apart fact and fiction.
