What is a "Tetra Brown?"

[rriley55]

Yes Lady Victorian, I believe you are right I looked up what ISA Browns were and my girls look just like that instead of Amberlinks

I'm looking at the pics of Tetra Browns here and they look exactly like my ISA browns. So there is something definitely messed up with the TSC cards. Not that is matters. I love them all anyway.

Here are my 2 Tetra Brown ladies purchased at TSC in the first week of March.
I guess uploading isn't working right now. Maybe later

This is my first time keeping chickens and my first post on BYC!

Yep. Look exactly like ISA Browns

Bertie and Gertie! I hope they perform as well as ISA Browns, that would please me just fine.

I'll try to post a photo tomorrow. To me, the chicks look a lot like red sex link pullets, which I have had before. I assume by black eggs, he meant very dark brown, but since it is so hard to find anything I'm thinking he really didn't know about them at all . . .
Thanks for your help!

I got 3 tetra, 3 asia blacks (had never heard of them) out of curiousty, 3 black sex links on the 7thof March. I am 71 and have fiddled with breeds all my life. these tetras has amazed me ONE started laying the 15th of June and as of today the 1st July 2017, has produced 13 very dark brown eggs. I have never in my life had pullets lay this young. Since they reached 6 wks of age they have been on the ground and on grass and never without feed and water.

We have two of those from two different places. It is some kind of red sexlink, however, they both lay very different kinds of eggs. One is a dark brown with speckles and the other is almost a pink colored egg.

I just purchased some chickens last week from my Tractor Supply in Coeur d'alene, Idaho. They had both the Tetra Browns and the Isa Browns, and they supplier is Hoover Hatchery. Lots of info about them on their website.

I also bought Tetra Browns from TSC and was told they are all females. I hope this is true since I do not want any roosters.
