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

Hi Been awhile since I posted here. I bred my tt to a bo. The chicks were hatched today. Will get pics as soon as the rest of the chicks hatch. They are still in the bator.

They look so - flourescent white! I always hoped my white silkies to be white but they are always muddy...

I want one now

Couldn't wait took one while in the bator. Sorry its not to clear.

I've been debating on hatching out some of my TT eggs, but my rooster is a Blue Cochin. That should be an interesting mix

Thou next year I am planning on building another coop and having an all EE flock and putting my TT in with them. Seeing how a TT and an EE mix does since my TT has not missed a day laying since she started!

One of my TT girls started laying today! 1st TT egg!!

Her egg is the cream/slightly pink egg in the middle. Store bought white egg on immediate left for color comparison. GC egglets on right ( I have 2 GC pullets laying now.)
Fully grown PR egg on far left, for size/color comparison.

I haven't posted anything here in awhile so....
After a week of rain rain and more rain I left the girls out to cruise the yard and get out of the muddy run. They found the only dry spot to dust bath in, right outside the garage door. No its not normal dirt it is a combination of road grime, coal dirt and what ever else gets swept out the door. No more white chickies.

tetra tints are the same as california whites, i had a few, didnt like them, males got agressive and females became broody, to me there just a common white chicken lol. all my local feed stores have them, under both names

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.

Lol, zinia. My white chickens looked a suspicious brownish color after the last rain, too. It made them harder to find when I was putting them back in the coop. Better camouflage

If you have the tetra tints like I have (seems to be differances in mine and some on here) your wait will not be long.
I had tetras laying eggs in my grow out pen at 16 weeks, had to get the big coop ready fast this year.
