The Tetra Tint thread.. (Photos, info) ❤

I suppose it's possible that they could be basically "California White", under a different name..
Can't wait to see how they turn out!

And I hope your local TSC's get them, call and check with them a few times.

Here is my Tetra tint "Tetra" simply named because of my husband thinking I bought a fish from TSC

Here she is when we got her

And her at 3 weeks, this was after her little adventure around the yard!

I have to say she is the most adventurous of all the chicks I have, the first to jump out of the coop and the first to try treats! Though she is not on top of the pecking order, she seems to try to be neutral there. Will try to post a more recent picture today, since she is now a month old!!

these look exactly like the "white leghorns" I picked up that were the feature breed this week at tsc. I will try to post pics in a few. Maybe they are tetras?

here are my "white leghorns" Can you tell any difference between a tetra tint and white leghorns? What do you think these are?

The tsc store had them marked feature breed and told me they were white leghorns

They are pretty girls. I haven't seen them here. Thanks for all the pix!

Thanks for all of the cool pictures, everybody! I can't believe how quickly they feather out...two weeks! Wow!

Here are some better shots of my Tetra tint TETRA. She seems to have more color than some of the other Tetra tints on here!

This front shot showing off her beige chest

You can see her black spots on her head and one by her tail

Am I the only person who thinks they look like simple meat bird x's?

Yeah, could be cornish or leghorn crosses. If they have truly been bred for nothign but massive egg production they will probably have short lives as they will burn out fast. I prefer mixed use birds who lay at a slower rate but for much longer. One of my Wyandottes is 6 and still lays 4 to 5 eggs a week.
