Rooster?

Cinnamon queens are mutts with a fancy name. They're not a breed and they don't have a standard.
In birds with pea comb, what matters is not the comb color, but how wide the comb is. 90% of times, three rows of "peas" means male, one row means female.

Oh okay interesting. These are my first chickens, learning as I go :)

While Cinnamon Queen is not a pure breed and does not have a standard, they are fairly consistent in having some particular traits (example: color-sexable with red/gold females and silver males, lay brown eggs, generally good layers.)

If that bird is a Cinnamon Queen, then the brown in the feathers means it is definitely a female. If that bird is actually something else, and was mis-labeled, then the color of the feathers will not tell anything about the sex.
 
Cinnamon Queen is a marketing name for a sex linked cross. Some hatcheries use Rhode Island Red roosters over Silver Laced Wyandotte hens while other hatcheries use Rhode Island Red roosters over Rhode Island White hens to make their Cinnamon Queen's. Both Wyandotte and RIW should have a rose comb so the chicks should also show a rose comb as rose is dominant.

In either case, the females should be mostly red while the males would feather out mostly white. If that really were a Cinnamon Queen it would be a pullet since it is red, but that does not look like any Cinnamon Queen I've seen pictures of. Cinnamon Queen pullets are typically more of a solid light red color.

I got them from tractor supply, I hope they truly are cinnamon queens and therefore pullets. Time will tell… we’re not allowed to have roosters :(

Here’s 2 photos of 1 or both “cinnamon queens” in question. They both look very similar so not sure
