Is it possible to have both cinnamon and pineapple to show in the same clutch?
Koi is the most muted in coloration out of the three. I read that cinnamon doesn't have the yellow sided and that under the wing it would be lime and not yellow.

Koi is a lime.
I'm not going to complain to where I purchased it because I've been a part of this since Koi was a naked little chicken, but I just want to know what I have. The three were marked as pineapple.

What would you say differentiates pineapples and cinnamons?

Pineapples are not actually a seperate mutation, but a combination of 2 other mutations, in this instance that is cinnamon and yellowsided (aka opaline).

Both are sexlinked mutations, if the cock is carrying the gene for cinnamon and yellowsided and the hen is a visual cinnamon, you will get cinnamon and cinnamon-yellowsided (pineapple) young.
