I have 6 week old baby chicks that were suppose to be cinnamon queens but from day 1 it was apparent they are not. They almost have all their feathers in so I thought I would ask here.

I don't know what to look for so I can take more pictures for anyone needing more specific areas.

They are almost definitely Cinnamon Queens. They have the correct color, most common comb type, and were sold as them. :) There is no other common hatchery mix that has this appearance and no pure breed.
 
There are two different types of Cinnamon Queens being sold by the hatcheries, from two different crosses. One type looks just like any other red sex link, red with white highlights. The other cross is a red rooster over a silver laced Wyandotte female. The female chicks will be all red, not white, and usually will have rose combs. This is the type you have.
