The main thing about putting them out is you do not want it too cold. If you put them out make sure they know how to get back in and give them a heat source to warm up under if they need it. At that young of an age fighting will be brief.

Why would you run?... just kidding, about 8 weeks old they can go outside on good days. I have a doggie door and open it on good days and just make sure they all get back in. At 3 months they all get access to the outdoors.

I think you are right I researched them and they are a sort of super strain of White Leghorns. I don't mind super chickens though. Quote:

Chris is right leghorn is used in a lot of hatchery breeds to improve laying. The green legs can come from standard game also.

I thought when the hatcheries marked chicks it was on the top of the head to discourage pecking?

So are California Whites and they turn all white. Quote:

The brand "Tetra" is trademarked by a foreign company as a layer breed in competition to traditional leghorns and such. Quote:

That sounds like a good idea. I have been looking for more info on the Tetras and so far unable to locate and thing significant.

I travel to California frequently I will see where TSC are at. Thanks Quote: Sure would, if I have a roo in the bunch, and as you said, if they breed true! They are all suppose to be pullets (unless they make a mistake or 2! lol).. Mt. Healthy Hatchery would make a LOT more money if they'd...

See what you started I am now trying to find some of these guys we have no TSC here so Sunshyne I will be relying on you to hatch me some (please) or eggs if they breed true. On another note I think the guy at TSC was feeding the buyer a line.

Really hard to say with an unknown breed. I would wait and see. I would think that with a newer breed that they woud sex them better to at least get them noticed in the market place.

A hybrid can breed a new breed but usually wont breed true to parents usually... I think there are a few that do I want to say an Austra White will. I think.

Would be interesting to find out the cross to get them. Quote:

All a sexlink is is a term used to describe a type of chick that links specific genetic attributes from the parents that produce a trait that allows the sexing by color at hatch time. Black sexlinks are all black at hatch except the roosters have a white spot on top of the head. Red sexlinks are...

Does Mt. Health hatchery sell strait run? Suppose I could ask them but thought I would ask here first.

I learned something new today , cool. The birdin the picture is most likely a cornish cross but with the fact that I am unfamiliar with the tetra birds I'm not totally sure.

They resemble a thick leghorn or a Rhode island white or a white rock even. Interesting to hear how they do laying. Let me know.
