Cinnamon Queens or RIR’s?

Recently(and unexpectedly)acquired these two ladies. Was wondering if they are cinnamon queens or RIR’s. P.s. Ignore the state of the chicken tractor. I was not expecting to have chickens and am in the process of building it for them. :)

Look like RIR hybrids. Probably really good layers. My whole flock is like this.

Are you just bending those tubes? That's a good design for the tractor.

Thank you :) there was really no plan in place and so I’ve been winging it (hehehe) but I’m happy how it’s turning out. The pvc pipes are just bent in there and held with clamps into the frames and then covered in galvanized mesh netting. It made it really sturdy. I plan on adding a white plastic roof to make it look somewhat like a barn and to provide them with shade and weather protection in the run. :)

Cinnamon queen AKA red sex link. They’re a cross of white and red Rhode Island’s.

(Just realized I should explain; red sex link is a category. In that category there is ISA brown, cinnamon queen or really any Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red male over White Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island White, Silver Laced Wyandotte, or Delaware females)

Maybe cinnamon queens or a type of sex link. My Rhode Islands were very dark. No white or light coloring on wings at all. As another commented, they look like great layers.

Pretty girls!
