They sure look like it to me.
Cinnamon Queen has black on tail, instead of white like Golden Comets. GC

That's good to know. They all have whitetails.

Have they produced good eggs for you? I'm hoping they don't burn out in a few years.

Look like my ISA browns.

I don't want to make you sad, but I won't get any more.
I lost my first at 23 months, second at 25 months, third around 3 years, fourth around 4 years. The last at 50 months old.
Four were egg bound and another had blood in stool.
Here's the oldest a couple of months before passing.

Yep I've lost 2 to egg bound. Production birds are known to have the issues. The rest have been good birds but as they get closer to about 6 years old I plan on thinning them down and putting them in the freezer. Gonna replace them with rhode island reds.

Gonna replace them with rhode island reds.

I got four, 8 weeks old today.

I also have four ISA Browns 14 months old.

Man, I was hoping that wasn't the case. What other breeds do you recommend for eggs? I would like sweet chickens. I have kids and they love the chickens. So far our buffs and barred rocks are so sweet.

My second Flock of seven Barred Rocks were also friendly, I bought 4 more a couple of months ago and some Rhode Island Reds.
All Barred Rock pullets are friendly, RIR not friendly, don't want to be touched.
My ISA Browns are friendly, but I don't know about their longevity, they are sex-links.
I haven't had any other breeds/types of chickens. GC
