TSC mystery!!!! What else is new lol

[Bigdumogre]

Those are also Cinnamon Queens but they have some chick down that hasn’t molted out yet

Thank you so much!!! I’m great for caring for them but breeds get me confused at times lol

 

[Bigdumogre]

Note! Never buy from TSC again lol. My others I bought from a local brick and mortar store. But they didn’t have anymore chicks for the year. They were all spoken for already. Guess patience is a virtue

I think as long as you have an open mind, you're safe, lol. The guy that sold me my bantams from RK thought bantam was a species all its own. So there's that, lol.

I bought 3 Bielefelder chicks from TSC and of course 2 of them are not them. Probably some sort of production red. Not complaining at all they are amazing pullets and loving, I wouldn’t trade them for anything. They are 2 1/2 months old. This is one of them and will post other

These have rose combs which very clearly point to them being Cinnamon Queens

The Cinnamon Queen from Hoovers doesn’t appear to have a rose comb. Hoovers Production Red doesn’t either. It normally has a very small comb, though. Everything else in the OP’s picture of the one bird I quoted is spot on for Hoovers Production Red including the black is why I said Production Red. TSC gets their chicks from Hoovers.
Here is a site picture of Hoovers Cinnamon Queen. I think the first bird is a Production Red from Hoover. But, of course I could be wrong

And, Hoovers Production Red.
Again, a site photo

Yes, the Cinnamon Queen in Hoovers photo has a single comb.
But the description on the page says they can have either single or rose comb.

Why Hoover’s has that picture is unknown to me but that bird isn’t the specific cross they use to make Cinnamon Queens. Per their website it’s a Rhode Island Red over a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Depending on if the Wyandotte is homogeneous for a rose combs leads to the mix of combs we’re seeing here. Here’s Hoover’s previous picture:

Here are pictures of this specific cross of Cinnamon Queen from Hoover’s:

I’ve been commenting on Hoover’s specific breeds and mixes for years now and am confident in this instance that these are Cinnamon Queens

I almost wonder if Hoover’s accidentally updated the wrong image because it used to be this bird that shows the partial pattern of a Wyandotte

To further my point, the hen in the new picture is potentially showing white feathers (indicating dominant white) which wouldn’t be coming from either parent in their mix. I think the wrong picture is being used to represent the mix:
