That is exactly what my tetra tint eggs look like.I just got my first egg from my tetra tints. They just turned 16 wks so I didn't expect any this soon. I thought they were suppose to be white? Mine looks brown with lots of white spots and feels rough. I purchased them from tractor supply this year .Look at my egg pic and tell me what you think?
Are my tetras close to laying? Im not sure how old they are. I just want eggs already!! Lol
I have a questions for those of you who know about Tetra Tints. I have one pullet that started out yellow. She is 6 weeks old now and looks white. However, compared to my white plymouth pullet (who is truly white), the other chick has a definite yellow tint to her feathers. I'll try to post some photos of her if I can get them. She does look white in pictures, but in person she is an "off" color. She had a little yellow single comb and bright yellow legs and a short tail (compared to the others). Is her coloring typical of a Tetra Tint? We were told she's a white leghorn, but I have serious doubts about that.
Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure my "yellow bird" is an Amber White and not a tetra tint. She's almost 17 weeks and is a fairly solid pale yellow color. She is getting very big (so definitely not a leghorn) but still has a tiny comb and looks like a pullet. Can't wait to get an egg from her, but I think it is going to be a while longer.My tetra tints are a bright white with some cream colored feathers. They are a very pretty, gentle, curious bird!
Is there any possible way to tell Tetra Tints apart?! Ours are all identical! I feel bad about not naming them but I wouldn't be able to know whos who.
