True Blue Whiting info please?

[JRNash]

Can you please point me to your definition poultry 'breed you choose to use? I'm unaware of any countries or organizations recognized definition of a poultry breed they would fulfill... But, I guess you can make up your own definition to fit your argument....
Just because they were bred for some specific characteristics does not make them a breed unto themselves...

 

[JRNash]

that was my point. We could discuss phenotype,which in my opinion is what we are talking about. a chicken is a chicken,unless it's a duck.
Mine will be here this week,can't wait

JR Nash -- you still in Colorado or back in Texas?

BDRanch got back this morning!!! Finally got to see my four Whiting males. Three that have the wild stripe coloration,remind me of my cornish.ONE IS WHITE

I love white birds

 

[JRNash]

my twelve females come in this week

 

[BDRanch]

That white may be a wheaten. My wheaten hens are producing really light yellow babies, but in a week, you may start seeing some tanish/brown markings.
Here are some of my wheatens ... the gal on the left is a blue wheaten and the two on the right are the "true" wheaten girls. Start out really light buff. I'm really excited about my roo ... he's throwing a lot of silver duckwing (like himself).

I'm curious to see how he ends up. He isn't yellow at all,his down is bright white and the feathers coming in are also. It's really noticeable with the other chicks

 

[JRNash]

and they have the fluffy cheeks,adorable!!

 

[JRNash]

I will try and get some pictures tomorrow

they are also heavier than the leghorns of the same age. THAT I wasn't expecting considering their background
