Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌Chickens are among‌ ‌the‌ ‌best‌ ‌birds‌ ‌that‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌add‌ ‌to‌ ‌your‌ ‌flock. Most‌ ‌backyard‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌keepers‌ ‌prefer‌ ‌them‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌friendly‌ ‌demeanor‌. ‌

The‌ ‌ability‌ ‌to‌ ‌lay‌ ‌more‌ ‌eggs.‌ ‌Here‌ ‌is‌ ‌what‌ ‌you‌ ‌need‌ ‌to‌ ‌know‌ ‌about‌ ‌this‌ ‌excellent‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌breed.‌ ‌

History‌ ‌and‌ ‌Origin‌ ‌of‌ Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌Chickens

The‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens breed ‌does‌ ‌not‌ ‌have‌ ‌a long or ‌eventful‌ history. It‌ ‌is‌ ‌a‌ ‌modern‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌breed‌ ‌that‌ ‌was‌ ‌developed‌ ‌a‌ ‌few‌ ‌years‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌modern‌ ‌age‌ ‌of‌ ‌poultry‌ ‌farming.‌ ‌

Chicken‌ ‌breeders‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌develop‌ ‌a‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌breed‌. These chickens ‌would‌ ‌lay‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌of‌ ‌eggs. ‌be‌ ‌hardy,‌ ‌and‌ ‌have‌ ‌a‌ ‌faster‌ ‌body‌ ‌growth‌ ‌rate.‌ ‌ ‌

The‌ ‌breed‌ ‌was‌ ‌created‌ ‌after‌ ‌the‌ ‌crossing‌ ‌of‌ ‌a‌ ‌Rhode‌ ‌Island‌ ‌White‌ ‌female‌ ‌and‌ ‌a‌ ‌Rhode‌ ‌Island‌ ‌Red‌ ‌male. The‌ ‌breeders‌ ‌were‌ ‌successful‌ ‌in‌ ‌their‌ ‌attempt‌ ‌to cross‌ ‌the‌ ‌two‌ ‌breeds.‌ ‌

Today,‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌are‌ ‌known‌ ‌for‌ ‌their‌ ‌ability‌ ‌to‌ ‌lay‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌of‌ ‌large‌ ‌brown‌ ‌eggs. Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌Chickens ‌also‌ ‌grow‌ ‌very‌ ‌quickly‌, and‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌expect‌ ‌them‌ ‌to‌ ‌start‌ ‌laying‌ ‌eggs‌ ‌at‌ ‌an‌ ‌early‌ ‌age.‌

Cinnamon‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌take‌ ‌after‌ ‌the‌ ‌appearance‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌ancestors‌ ‌and‌ ‌maintain‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌coloring. The‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌are‌ ‌hybrids‌ ‌meaning‌ ‌there‌ ‌is‌ ‌no‌ ‌“pure‌ ‌or‌ ‌true”‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chicken.‌ ‌ ‌

The‌ ‌Appearance‌ ‌of‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌Chickens‌ ‌

You‌ ‌can‌ ‌easily‌ ‌sex‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌by‌ ‌their‌ ‌color‌ ‌alone. They‌ ‌are‌ ‌named‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌color‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌feathers.‌ ‌

The‌ ‌breed‌ ‌was‌ ‌developed‌ ‌after‌ ‌the‌ ‌breeding‌ ‌of‌ ‌Rhode‌ ‌Island‌ ‌White‌ ‌females‌ ‌and‌ ‌Rhode‌ ‌Island‌ ‌Red‌ ‌males. They‌ ‌maintain‌ ‌the‌ ‌coloring‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌ancestors.‌ ‌ ‌

Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌roosters‌ ‌are‌ ‌always‌ ‌red. On‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌hand,‌ ‌their‌ ‌female‌ ‌counterparts‌ ‌have‌ ‌a‌ ‌lovely‌ ‌shade‌ ‌of‌ ‌red‌ ‌and‌ ‌brown.‌ ‌

It‌ ‌would‌ ‌be‌ ‌difficult‌ ‌to‌ ‌sex‌ ‌the‌ ‌second‌ ‌generation‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌breed‌ ‌with‌ ‌color. Both‌ ‌female‌ ‌and‌ ‌male‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌will‌ ‌come‌ ‌in‌ ‌different‌ ‌colors.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

The‌ ‌breed‌ ‌generally‌ ‌has‌ ‌a‌ ‌compact‌ ‌and‌ ‌heavy‌ ‌body. Their‌ ‌roosters‌ ‌weigh‌ ‌about‌ ‌5.5‌ ‌lbs‌ ‌to‌ ‌7.5‌ ‌lbs. On‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌hand,‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌hens‌ ‌usually‌ ‌weigh‌ ‌approximately‌ ‌4.5‌ ‌lbs‌ ‌to‌ ‌5.5‌ ‌lbs.‌ ‌

They‌ ‌have‌ ‌red‌ ‌wattles‌ ‌and‌ ‌clear‌ ‌upper‌ ‌ears. The‌ ‌combs‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌breed‌ ‌are‌ ‌also‌ ‌red. Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌have‌ ‌yellow‌ ‌legs‌ ‌that‌ ‌do‌ ‌not‌ ‌have‌ ‌feathers. Some‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌may‌ ‌come‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌tint‌ ‌of‌ ‌green‌ ‌legs‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌ ‌

Personality‌ ‌and‌ ‌Temperament‌ ‌

Most‌ ‌people‌ ‌who‌ ‌buy‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌may‌ ‌get‌ ‌worried‌ ‌about‌ ‌their‌ ‌temperament. Whether‌ ‌they‌ ‌will‌ ‌get‌ ‌along‌ ‌with‌ ‌the‌ ‌rest‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌flock. ‌If‌ ‌the‌ ‌flock‌ ‌has‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌of‌ ‌different‌ ‌breeds.‌ ‌

If‌ ‌you‌ ‌are‌ ‌one‌ ‌of‌ ‌them,‌ ‌you‌ ‌should‌ ‌not‌ ‌be‌ ‌worried‌ ‌anymore. This‌ ‌is‌ ‌because‌ ‌the‌ ‌breed‌ ‌is‌ ‌known‌ ‌for‌ ‌being‌ ‌docile‌ ‌and‌ ‌friendly‌ ‌to‌ ‌children‌ ‌and‌ ‌even‌ ‌other‌ ‌chickens.‌ ‌ ‌

According‌ ‌to‌ ‌most‌ ‌breeders‌ ‌and‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌keepers. The‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌is‌ ‌among‌ ‌the‌ ‌easiest‌ ‌and‌ ‌sweetest‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌breeds‌ ‌that‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌include‌ ‌in‌ ‌your‌ ‌flock.‌ ‌

If‌ ‌you‌ ‌introduce‌ ‌new‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌to‌ ‌your‌ ‌flock. They‌ ‌will‌ ‌fit‌ ‌in‌ ‌well‌ ‌and‌ ‌even‌ ‌make‌ ‌new‌ ‌friends‌ ‌within‌ ‌a‌ ‌short‌ ‌time. They‌ ‌will‌ ‌also‌ ‌come‌ ‌to‌ ‌your‌ ‌attention‌ ‌once‌ ‌they‌ ‌get‌ ‌used‌ ‌to‌ ‌their‌ ‌new‌ ‌environment.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Unlike‌ ‌most‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌breeds. Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌shy‌ ‌away‌ ‌from‌ ‌showing‌ ‌love‌ ‌to‌ ‌their‌ ‌keepers. Being‌ ‌a‌ ‌hardy‌ ‌breed,‌ ‌the‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌will‌ ‌do‌ ‌pretty‌ ‌well‌ ‌in‌ ‌any‌ ‌given‌ ‌climate.‌ ‌

They‌ ‌can‌ ‌survive‌ ‌in‌ ‌colder‌ ‌climates‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌the‌ ‌hotter‌ ‌ones. The‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌will‌ ‌just‌ ‌be‌ ‌okay‌. Whether‌ ‌you‌ ‌decide‌ ‌to‌ ‌keep‌ ‌them‌ ‌alongside‌ ‌a‌ ‌group‌ ‌of‌ ‌other‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌breeds‌ ‌or‌ ‌in‌ ‌confinement.‌ ‌

Some‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌breeds‌ ‌are‌ aggressive ‌and‌ ‌will‌ ‌not‌ ‌be‌ ‌afraid‌ ‌to‌ ‌attack‌ ‌children‌ ‌or‌ ‌even‌ ‌adults. This‌ ‌is‌ ‌not‌ ‌the‌ ‌case‌ ‌for‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens. Their‌ ‌friendly‌ ‌nature‌ ‌means‌ ‌that‌ ‌they‌ ‌will‌ ‌not‌ ‌be‌ ‌a‌ ‌threat‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌kids‌ ‌if‌ ‌kept‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌backyard.‌ ‌

However,‌ ‌just‌ ‌like‌ ‌many‌ ‌other‌ ‌roosters‌ ‌of‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌breeds,‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌roosters‌ ‌can‌ ‌get‌ ‌aggressive‌ ‌sometimes.‌ ‌ ‌

Pedigree‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen chickens ‌

Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌is‌ ‌a‌ ‌hybrid‌ ‌chicken. It‌ ‌is‌ ‌not‌ ‌a‌ ‌heritage‌ ‌breed‌ ‌as‌ ‌some‌ ‌people‌ ‌may‌ ‌think. The‌ ‌breed‌ ‌is‌ ‌thus‌ ‌not‌ ‌recognized‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌American‌ ‌Poultry‌ ‌Association.‌ ‌

However,‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌still‌ ‌find‌ ‌a‌ ‌few‌ ‌poultry‌ ‌competitions‌ ‌that‌ ‌can‌ ‌accept‌ ‌the‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chicken. The‌ ‌competitions‌ ‌are‌ ‌not‌ ‌national‌ ‌or‌ ‌international‌ ‌but‌ ‌rather‌ ‌local‌ ‌competitions.‌ ‌ ‌

Although‌ ‌the‌ ‌breed‌ ‌has‌ ‌been‌ ‌around‌ ‌for‌ ‌several‌ ‌years,‌ ‌no‌ ‌effort‌ ‌has‌ ‌been‌ ‌shown‌ ‌to‌ ‌register‌ ‌them.‌Up‌ ‌to‌ ‌date,‌ ‌they‌ ‌are‌ ‌still‌ ‌referred‌ ‌to‌ ‌as‌ ‌hybrid‌ ‌chickens.‌ ‌ ‌

Health‌ ‌Issues‌ ‌and‌ ‌Care‌ ‌

Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌is‌ ‌a‌ ‌hardy‌ ‌breed‌ ‌that‌ ‌is‌ ‌developed‌ ‌from‌ ‌one‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌best‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌breeds. Generally,‌ ‌the‌ ‌birds‌ ‌are‌ ‌bony‌ ‌healthy‌ ‌and‌ ‌do‌ ‌not‌ ‌have‌ ‌any‌ ‌hereditary‌ ‌health‌ ‌issues.‌ ‌

If‌ ‌you‌ ‌are‌ ‌keeping‌ ‌them‌ ‌in‌ ‌your‌ ‌coop,‌ ‌you‌ ‌will‌ ‌notice‌ ‌that‌ ‌they‌ ‌rarely‌ ‌get‌ ‌sick.‌ ‌Because‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌hybrid‌ ‌nature,‌ ‌they‌ ‌will‌ ‌also‌ ‌not‌ ‌develop‌ ‌health‌ ‌problems‌ ‌or‌ ‌any‌ ‌other‌ ‌disorder.‌ ‌ ‌

In‌ ‌addition‌ ‌to‌ ‌warding‌ ‌off‌ ‌any‌ ‌genetic‌ ‌disease,‌ ‌the‌ ‌hybrid‌ ‌nature‌ ‌will‌ ‌also‌ ‌reduce‌ ‌the‌ ‌possibility‌ ‌of‌ ‌your‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌developing‌ ‌some‌ ‌diseases‌ ‌in‌ ‌their‌ ‌later‌ ‌years.‌ ‌

You‌ ‌will‌ ‌therefore‌ ‌not‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌worry‌ ‌about‌ ‌the‌ ‌cost‌ ‌of‌ ‌medication‌ ‌on‌ ‌this‌ ‌breed‌ ‌as‌ ‌it‌ ‌will‌ ‌always‌ ‌remain‌ ‌low.‌ ‌

However,‌ ‌just‌ ‌like‌ ‌humans‌ ‌and‌ ‌other‌ ‌pests,‌ ‌you‌ ‌will‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌vaccinate‌ ‌your‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌preventive‌ ‌measure‌ ‌against‌ ‌various‌ ‌poultry‌ ‌diseases.‌ ‌

 Vaccination‌ ‌will‌ ‌keep‌ ‌your‌ ‌birds‌ ‌healthy‌ ‌throughout‌ ‌the‌ ‌rest‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌lives.‌ ‌Failing‌ ‌to‌ ‌vaccinate‌ ‌will‌ ‌expose‌ ‌them‌ ‌to‌ ‌a‌ ‌variety‌ ‌of‌ ‌poultry‌ ‌diseases‌ ‌that‌ ‌may‌ ‌lead‌ ‌to‌ ‌low‌ ‌productivity‌ ‌and‌ ‌even‌ ‌the‌ ‌death‌ ‌of‌ ‌your‌ ‌chickens.‌ ‌

Pests

 It‌ ‌is‌ ‌also‌ ‌important‌ ‌to‌ ‌check‌ ‌for‌ ‌various‌ ‌pests.‌ ‌The‌ ‌common‌ ‌pests‌ ‌that‌ ‌may‌ ‌attack‌ ‌your‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌are‌ ‌lice‌ ‌and‌ ‌mites.‌ ‌

If‌ ‌you‌ ‌notice‌ ‌any‌ ‌pests,‌ ‌you‌ ‌must‌ ‌treat‌ ‌them‌ ‌as‌ ‌soon‌ ‌as‌ ‌possible‌ ‌before‌ ‌they‌ ‌spread‌ ‌and‌ ‌become‌ ‌difficult‌ ‌and‌ ‌expensive‌ ‌to‌ ‌control.‌ ‌Your‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌will‌ ‌need‌ ‌extra‌ ‌special‌ ‌care‌ ‌since‌ ‌they‌ ‌are‌ ‌high-production‌ ‌hybrid‌ ‌chickens.‌ ‌ ‌

 ‌The‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌will‌ ‌need‌ ‌a‌ ‌source‌ ‌of‌ ‌clean‌ ‌and‌ ‌fresh‌ ‌water.‌ ‌You‌ ‌must‌ ‌ensure‌ ‌that‌ ‌the‌ ‌water‌ ‌is‌ ‌just‌ ‌enough‌ ‌for‌ ‌all‌ ‌your‌ ‌birds.‌ ‌Lack‌ ‌of‌ ‌enough‌ ‌water‌ ‌will‌ ‌make‌ ‌your‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌dehydrated.‌ ‌

Backyard chickens

Besides,‌ ‌you‌ ‌will‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌ensure‌ ‌that‌ ‌the‌ ‌water‌ ‌is‌ ‌clean‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌bedding‌ ‌materials‌ ‌do‌ ‌not‌ ‌get‌ ‌into‌ ‌the‌ ‌drinkers.‌ ‌ ‌

In‌ ‌addition‌ ‌to‌ ‌water,‌ ‌the‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌will‌ ‌also‌ ‌need‌ ‌a‌ ‌constant‌ ‌supply‌ ‌of‌ ‌fresh‌ ‌feed‌ ‌with‌ ‌at‌ ‌least‌ ‌16%‌ ‌protein‌ ‌and‌ ‌other‌ ‌nutrients.‌ ‌If‌ ‌they‌ ‌are‌ ‌not‌ ‌given‌ ‌a‌ ‌proper‌ ‌diet,‌ ‌their‌ ‌health‌ ‌and‌ ‌egg‌ ‌production‌ ‌will‌ ‌deteriorate.‌ ‌

It‌ ‌is‌ ‌important‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌sure‌ ‌that‌ ‌the‌ ‌diet‌ ‌does‌ ‌comprise‌ ‌many‌ ‌whole‌ ‌grains.‌ ‌If‌ ‌your‌ ‌hens‌ ‌are‌ ‌laying‌ ‌eggs,‌ you‌ ‌will‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌supplement‌ ‌them‌ ‌with‌ ‌calcium‌ ‌feeds.‌ ‌

Calcium‌ ‌will‌ ‌help‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌formation‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌eggshells.‌ ‌ Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌are‌ ‌good-natured‌ ‌and‌ ‌can‌ ‌also‌ ‌free-range.‌ ‌

Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌Chickens

Egg‌ ‌Production‌

Most‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌keepers‌ ‌prefer‌ ‌keeping‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌ability‌ ‌to‌ ‌start‌ ‌laying‌ ‌eggs‌ ‌at‌ ‌a‌ ‌younger‌ ‌age‌ ‌as‌ ‌compared‌ ‌to‌ ‌various‌ ‌standard‌ ‌breeds.‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌made‌ ‌possible‌ ‌by‌ ‌their‌ ‌fast‌ ‌development.‌ ‌ ‌

Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌hens‌ ‌can‌ ‌lay‌ ‌about‌ ‌3‌ ‌to‌ ‌4‌ ‌eggs‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌week.‌ ‌This‌ ‌translates‌ ‌to‌ ‌about‌ ‌280‌ ‌to‌ ‌300‌ ‌eggs‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌year.‌ ‌They‌ ‌can‌ ‌even‌ ‌lay‌ ‌more‌ ‌eggs‌ ‌if‌ ‌you‌ ‌feed‌ ‌them‌ ‌properly.‌ ‌

The‌ ‌hens‌ ‌will‌ ‌maintain‌ ‌the‌ ‌desired‌ ‌egg‌ ‌production‌ ‌and‌ ‌their‌ ‌good‌ ‌numbers‌ ‌for‌ ‌about‌ ‌three‌ ‌years.‌ ‌As‌ ‌they‌ ‌age‌ ‌or‌ ‌after‌ ‌every‌ ‌molt,‌ ‌the‌ ‌production‌ ‌of‌ ‌eggs‌ ‌may‌ ‌fall‌ ‌by‌ ‌about‌ ‌15%.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Hens‌ ‌usually‌ ‌do‌ ‌well‌ ‌during‌ ‌the‌ ‌season.‌ ‌They‌ ‌tend‌ ‌to‌ ‌lay‌ ‌more‌ ‌eggs‌ ‌in‌ ‌winter‌ ‌as‌ ‌compared‌ ‌to‌ ‌during‌ ‌summer‌ ‌and‌ ‌spring.‌ ‌Since‌ ‌they‌ ‌lay‌ ‌many‌ ‌eggs‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌year,‌ ‌they‌ ‌may‌ ‌be‌ ‌susceptible‌ ‌to‌ ‌reproductive‌ ‌tract‌ ‌issues.‌ ‌

This‌ ‌applies‌ ‌to‌ ‌all‌ ‌egg-laying‌ ‌chicken‌ ‌breeds.‌ ‌Besides‌ ‌reproductive‌ ‌tract‌ ‌problems,‌ ‌Cinamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌may‌ ‌likely‌ ‌develop‌ ‌kidney‌ ‌and‌ ‌cancer‌ ‌problems‌ ‌or‌ ‌illnesses‌ ‌if‌ ‌you‌ ‌push‌ ‌them‌ ‌to‌ ‌lay‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌of‌ ‌eggs‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌year.‌ ‌ ‌

Cinnamon‌ ‌Queens‌ ‌hens‌ ‌will‌ ‌hardly‌ ‌go‌ ‌broody.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌whenever‌ ‌they‌ ‌do,‌ ‌they‌ ‌usually‌ ‌make‌ ‌good‌ ‌mothers‌ ‌to‌ ‌their‌ ‌chicks.‌ ‌You‌ ‌can‌ ‌use‌ ‌various‌ ‌techniques‌ ‌to‌ ‌encourage‌ ‌them‌ ‌to‌ ‌go‌ ‌broody.‌ ‌ ‌

Housing‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌Chickens‌ ‌

When‌ ‌constructing‌ ‌a‌ ‌coop‌ ‌for‌ ‌your‌ ‌flock,‌ ‌you‌ ‌must‌ ‌ensure‌ ‌that‌ ‌it‌ ‌is‌ ‌large‌ ‌enough‌ ‌to‌ ‌accommodate‌ ‌all‌ ‌of‌ ‌them.‌ ‌They‌ ‌should‌ ‌not‌ ‌be‌ ‌crowded‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌coop.‌ ‌

The‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌can‌ ‌do‌ ‌well‌ ‌both‌ ‌in‌ ‌confinement‌ ‌and‌ ‌when‌ ‌left‌ ‌to‌ ‌free range.‌ ‌If‌ ‌they‌ ‌are‌ ‌confined,‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌design‌ ‌a‌ ‌runaway‌ ‌section‌ ‌for‌ ‌them.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Your‌ ‌coop‌ ‌should‌ ‌be‌ ‌fenced‌ ‌and‌ ‌raised‌ ‌high‌ ‌enough‌ ‌to‌ ‌keep‌ ‌the‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌safe‌ ‌from‌ ‌predators‌ ‌such‌ ‌as‌ ‌raccoons‌ ‌and‌ ‌dogs.‌ ‌You‌ ‌will‌ ‌also‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌include‌ ‌nest‌ ‌boxes‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌suitable‌ ‌bedding‌ ‌material‌ ‌for‌ ‌your‌ ‌coop.‌ ‌ ‌

Challenges‌ ‌Faced‌ ‌when‌ ‌Keeping‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌Chickens‌ ‌

Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens are ‌a‌ ‌hardy‌ ‌breed,‌ ‌meaning‌ ‌they‌ ‌can‌ ‌do‌ ‌well‌ ‌in‌ ‌any‌ ‌climate‌ ‌condition.‌ ‌You‌ ‌may‌ ‌also‌ ‌not‌ ‌face‌ ‌several‌ ‌challenges‌ ‌such‌ ‌as‌ ‌health‌ ‌issues‌ ‌when‌ ‌keeping‌ ‌them.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌there‌ ‌are‌ ‌a‌ ‌few‌ ‌challenges‌ ‌that‌ ‌may‌ ‌come‌ ‌with‌ ‌keeping‌ ‌this‌ ‌egg-laying‌ ‌breed.‌ ‌ ‌

  1. The‌ ‌breed‌ ‌is‌ ‌a‌ ‌production‌ ‌fowl‌ ‌that‌ ‌can‌ ‌easily‌ ‌suffer‌ ‌from‌ ‌internal‌ ‌laying,‌ ‌egg‌ ‌binding,‌ ‌or‌ reproductive tract problems.
  2. They‌ ‌usually‌ ‌have‌ ‌a‌ ‌short‌ ‌lifespan‌ ‌, and‌ ‌most‌ ‌of‌ ‌them‌ ‌hardly‌ ‌get‌ ‌to‌ ‌three‌ ‌years‌ ‌of‌ ‌age.‌ ‌
  3. As‌ ‌the‌ ‌Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌chickens‌ ‌age,‌ ‌the‌ ‌quality‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌eggs‌ ‌may‌ ‌suffer‌ ‌
  4. Since‌ ‌they‌ ‌are‌ ‌a‌ ‌hybrid‌ ‌breed‌ ‌bred‌ ‌to‌ ‌lay‌ ‌regularly,‌ ‌they‌ will require large amounts of balanced feed.

Conclusion

Cinnamon‌ ‌Queen‌ ‌Chickens is a highly productive breed that is worth adding to your flock. They will ensure that you have a regular supply of good-quality eggs. Although they are hardy, they will need some care and maintenance to increase their productivity.
