What kind of chicks?

[darbymomma]

We picked up some new chicks for our flock. This is only our second year doing chickens, we started last Spring. We were doing some different color variations for our kids and got these little girls.

The bin said cinnamon queen, but these don't look like the images I am seeing when I google cinnamon queen.

Any input on what they are?

Also we got some starlight green eggers which i can find little to no information on. Anyone have any experience with them?

Welsummer maybe?? I really don’t know much about chicken breeds but from the google search that I just did they look like welsummers.

They do look very similar to that! I tried searching yesterday and kept coming up blank. We were just interested so we knew what to expect.

The girls liked them bc they looked like chipmunks.

Here they are now at 4 weeks.

Those look identical to our cinnamon queen chicks

Maybe they are idk. Hoovers is the only hatchery that has patterns like that. Everywhere else just shows a red chick, no pattern.

Here are the chickens in question, now about 10 weeks! How are yours looking now?

They look really similar! Ours are about 9 weeks old now. One thing I noticed is that one of ours seems to have a normal comb while the other has what I think is a rose comb.

Really?! Thats so funny. We had the same exact thing. I actually posted about it yesterday.

I actually ready that "cinnamon queen" can be a variety of hybrid red sex link chicks, so there can be a lot of variation.

The hoover variety of cinnamon queen is the offspring of a rhode island red rooster x silver laced wyandotte hen, that could explain the rose combs!
