Description
The Cinnamon Queen™ is one of two modern day production brown egg laying strains developed from hybrid breeding from Cackle Hatchery® that produce fast body development, fast egg production and rich brown egg shell color. These strains will start to lay eggs at a younger age than most standard heritage breeds and produce big large/extra-large brown eggs. They are also color sexable as chicks for the first generation which are the chicks you will receive. Cockerel chicks are white and the pullet chicks are more brownish red in color. Leg color is mostly yellow but a few may have some greenish color. Feathering color varies with brownish feathers and white feathers on the adult hens. Feathering color varies from totally white to white with light to dark red feathers in shoulder feathers in the adult rooster. Chicks from the second generation will not be color sexable and will come in multiple colors. The parent stock is made from a proprietary Cackle Hatchery® bloodline/strain of the straight combed variety Rhode Island Red production type male and the straight combed variety Rhode Island White production type female. Our Cinnamon Queens™ will look and perform very close to the ISA Brown™ bloodline. So book these early because they are a high demand layer for farm use with egg production.
We also offer at limited times of the year Cinnamon Queen Fertile Hatching Eggs

Dan Shelden –
Just starting to lay. About 50 percent all pullet eggs. Strong healthy confident friendly birds.
chasebrooks –
These are the best breed we have at our farm. They are very docile and one of them has become my wife’s best friend. Couldn’t be happier. Get some!
Bruthabuz –
My wife and I ordered 10 of these Cinnamon Queens last November and were notified on 2/15 that our order of 35 total chicks had shipped to us in California. Two days later, the USPS called to let us know we could pick them up. We actually received 39 chicks, all of them in eggsellent shape! We can’t wait for them to start laying eggs, for us and our friends! Thank you, Cackle Hatchery!
Timothy Suthard –
Healthy and active. Started laying at about 4 months.
John D. –
Excellent
I got 6 ladies. They are excellent foragers, good egg layers and very friendly. All winter they gave me no less than 3 eggs a day, and now with the spring getting here I get 5 to 6 eggs every day.
Ashley from Maine –
Excellent chicks!!
Received four cinnamons in my mixed order and boy do they look healthy. Alert, active, happy looking chicks. First time ordering and I will never buy from the feed store again!
John New Mexico –
Great chickens and service
Last March I received my order of 11 cinnamon queen and 11 golden comets with one extra. I am very satisfied with the chickens and service. Highly recommend ordering from and will order again in the future. All arrived alive and all are still alive and laying excellent brown eggs.
Ms Rose –
Lovely early egg layer
Wow- Getting chicks in the mail- that was fun. I picked chicks that were easy to sex. I have three of these lovely ladies who are big and strong and they started laying early. I named them after the cereal- you guessed it “Cinnamon” Toast” and “Crunch”. Not the cuddliest of the bunch but always curious what I’m doing…
BroKen –
Great layers
I have had chickens for over 50 years and these are the best laying, friendliest chickens that I have ever had.
Jessica C –
Thanks
We are first-time chicken keepers and ordered 15 chicks from Cackle. Eighteen healthy chicks arrived, though one died a month later from malnutrition from a beak deformity. We loved that we were able to order five different breeds, all of which are as described– cold hardy, friendly, and very healthy. They are now five months old and were very chipper when we released them into the yard this morning while it was 18 degrees out. Our friendliest birds are the Speckled Sussex, followed by Buff Orpington, Cinnamon Queen, Easter Egger and Black Laced Red Wyandotte.
Cory Q –
Thanks
We ordered 8 cinnamon queen hens and 8 barred rock hens, we received 9 of each all alive on arrival and are still thriving now at 6 weeks old. I couldn’t be happier with the chicks.
Jeff in Houston –
Hard to pick favorites when there all great chickens!
My wife and I have bought Cinnamon Queens from Cackle the last several years. They are always the best layers and friendliest hens of our mixed flock of 130+

Great Experience – I am a returning customer
Dealing with you guys has been great. I ordered chicks in 2017 and again in 2018. 100% accurate sexing, 100% survival, 100% laying within 5 months. I love these Cinnamon Queens! Great backyard birds and fantastic egg layers. Your staff is very friendly and helpful. Thanks so much!!!

Thank You Cackle Hatchery
Hi, as a first time orderer from Cackle Hatchery I wanted to take a minute and let you know how pleased with your service I have been. I ordered small order city/town chick offer and they arrived happy and healthy and on time. With an extra chick to spare!! Also ordered a small order of Guineas, hatchery choice, with a special request that I wasn’t sure you would be able to do but you came through!! As a first time customer i can’t tell you how impressed I have been with your attention to detail and care with shipping. All chicks/keets arrived happy and healthy, eating, drinking and ready to go. So want to say a big Thank You. I will be highly recommending you to anyone who wants a dependable source for poultry.

Our Cinnamon Queen’s are 8 months old this week. 10 hens have produced over 60 dozen eggs in the 4 months they have been laying!

To the Good People of Cackle:
I received my order of Cinnamom Queens chicks this morning…one day late due to the huge ice storm in the south. (three days instead of two). I fully expected the worse, but when I opened the box I found all the chicks alive and well. Thanks to your expert packaging for winter shipments, the chicks were up quickly drinking their sugar water and pecking at the feed I had scattered on the brooder floor. In the past, I have received late orders from other firms that did not fair so nicely. You are to be commended for your SERVICE. Thanks and I will order again!
Charlotte –
Cinnamon Queens and Wyandotts

Early layers
I ordered cinnamon queens that arrived May 5. They are now laying like crazy -it is only mid September! Hadn’t expected eggs until around November. Great Birds. Love your quality and care.
Amy –
Thanks

yoyo –
insane layers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got these birds over a year ago. they made me some money and fun. they layed great from day one, but now they are starting to need a molt. for 30 chickens they were insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t lose one as a chick! thanks a lot!
Nick –
Eggslent little chicks!
I drove down to the hatchery to pick up the chicks, to our dismay they were closed due to being short staffed that day, but left a number to call if you came from out of town. We called it and was greeted at the door by a great staff member, we ended up leaving with two cinnamon queens, a speckled Sussex and a buckeye. All chicks are doing great and can’t wait to see them grow up! This place is amazing, I’m glad I made the trip down to get these little chicks from them.
cje –
very happy
we ordered 7 cinnamon chicks and they arrived all alive. They are now 4 week old and doing very well. Plus they gave us 1 extra. Looking forward to get more chicks .
NCOF –
Super positive
Our birds arrived ahead of schedule, in great shape, and clearly labeled. The difference between having all expectations met and a hatchery that falls down in one or two areas is enormous. This was our first experience with Cackle Hatchery and I’ll definitely order from them again. I never write these things but couldn’t help myself in this case.
Amazing chicks! –
Exactly what was expected.
These babies were ready to go as soon as I got them home. Although my order was messed up due to a misunderstanding on numbers, I’m still very happy with my order. These chicks will be a month old this week and are doing an amazing job! Not a single death and everyone is growing like weeds! They have started putting out pin feathers, so they look like your typical teenager lol. Even though they seem to be a bit flighty I have not been pecked even once by them. The rooster is already very protective of his girls!
By far, the best choice of hatchery and of chicks!
Erica J. –
Great experience
Purchased 15 chicks–speckled sussex, easter egger, cinnamon queen, buff orpington and dark brahmas. I was sent two extra–buff orpington and easter egger. All chicks arrived super healthy and on time. It was a great experience with Cackle Hatchery from start to finish, and I’m so pleased since this was my very first experience purchasing chicks.
Susan –

Hi
I am 10 years old and in the 5th grade. When I grow up Im going to buy around 600 chickens. I have 2 chickens now. They are Cinnamon Queens. I feed them scraps corn and laying mash. I named them Mrs Pickles and Fluffington. There both very tame.
DOBRO_HARP –
great birds
LOVE these birds as far as laying. They are aggressive to the EEs tho and two of my fathers EEs had to be isolated from them, they had them down almost Killed overnight. BUT they come running and seem to love us humans (could have to do with the treats LOL

prize winning chickens
We ordered 40 from you for our first time project. We just took 2 sets of meat pens to the fair and received supreme champion and reserve champion. Not bad for our first time. The judge said they were so nice they could go to the state fair. They received 80.00 for each pen. Not toooo bad. Just wanted to let you know how impressed we are with your Cornish Cross chickens and we will order again.

Attn: Customer Service
I would like to thank everyone at Cackle hatchery for the service I received from the first time I called and had a ton of questions until today when i received my chick’s. The customer service staff was very polite and if the answer wasn’t known they asked someone and gave me the answer. Upon arrival of my chicks today I was very pleased in the condition and health of your birds…I ordered 235 chicks and after counting them I received 244 (9) extra birds just in case of any of any of the birds dying in shipment. I am proud to say only 2 of the birds out of 244 were dead on arrival. I feel that is a good ration and again want to thank everyone at Cackle for a job well done and I will be proud to recommend you hatchery to anyone. Thank you!
Denny Arkansas April 2015 –
Thanks
I would like to say I am happier with the chickens i got from your Hatchery than any others I have raised, I have kept chickens for the last 25 years and this flock is the best. They are docile and right now I am getting 18-20 eggs per day from 24 hens. You can bet when I recycle these girls I will be ordering from you again. Once again Thanks.

Babies are HERE
Well our babies are here! They arrived safely and are all doing well. Which is why there has been almost no email….
