whiting true blue

    Spoiler alert: The coop made it to the finish line. Just three years and a whole life chapter later.

    Hey, hey! Remember me? We started to build a chicken coop and it never got finished….. until now. 3 years, a baby, many weddings and funerals, and a whole lot of chaos later, my coop is finally done! The only thing left is filling in the dirt around the edge of the run and extending the skirting...

    Whiting True Blue or Buff Orp??

    I bought this chick (“Nugget”) from Rural King. I was told she was a Buff Orpington. But as she grew she looked nothing like one. Then when her and my other new hens started laying the mystery deepened. I got her at the same time as my Ameraucana who lays green eggs. She is my only chicken who...

    Why aren’t Whiting True Blues more popular?

    In reading various sources about creating green & olive colored egg layers I have noted that the WTB’s are mentioned far less frequently in comparison to the CCL. Am I right or is my perception skewed? And if I’m right, why? The WTB doesn’t seem as popular to own simply as a blue egg producer...

    Famous women inspired pun names

    I'm buying three hens from someone locally. Two are Whiting True Blues (the cream one and light grey with a tan/brown head one) and the dark grey one with a black head is a Blue Andalusian. The cream hen will be Marilhen Monroe, the one with the black head I'm going to name Audrey Henburn. I...

    Is this a Roo or a pullet?

    Hello! This is a True Blue and is about 6 weeks old. I’m having a hard time determining if it is a roo or a pullet. I am new to chickens. 🥰 I was told since the comb is lighter in color it is a hen? It is the second largest out of my other birds. Does anyone else have a way to tell? Thank you...

    Mystery rooster

    I have a supposed whiting true blue rooster that i bought from someone who hatched the eggs she purchased from someone. So he came from blue shell. But he does not have the white earlobes. Could he still be a WTB? Or did the seller of the eggs possibly have a mix up? He's 4 months.

    5-6 Week Whiting True Blue Sexing

    Any input on this guy/gal? They’re 2 days short of 6 weeks. I’ve been concerned about their comb coloring up. I got them from McMurrays on April 10th and they’ve been raised outside by a broody hen.

    Whiting True Blue Breeding - What to look for?

    Hi friends! I am new to WTBs and I'd love to offer hatching eggs as well as chicks from my flock. I'm wondering what to look for in my birds/eggs/roosters to produce the best offspring. I have two roosters (one gray, and one multicolored) and 6 hens. Since they are all so very colorful, I don't...

    How to price hatching eggs

    Hi friends! I have whiting true blue hens and roosters and would like to sell the fertilized eggs for hatching. The prices I’m finding online are anywhere from $40 a dozen to $10 an egg 😮. I’ve never sold hatching eggs so I’m at a loss on pricing. I would also like to sell the true blue crosses...

    Easter Egger? Whiting True Blue? Other?

    Cannot establish breed, it may be mixed. This photo is from a few weeks ago, and her longer tail feathers are now shorter and rounder. She is a wild chicken, always running around and jumping around in 2x speed. Very slim physique compared to my other breeds. When she was around 8-10 weeks, she...

    (2) almost 12w old Whiting True Blues. Roos?

    First 3 pictures are Chicken #1, last 3 pictures are chicken #2. They will be 12 weeks on Saturday. I picked them out SR, out of the 4 I picked out these two look and act a bit differently. The other two have much more obvious rounded tail feathers and a single comb. These two have 3 rows on...

    Do I have pullets or cockerels or both?

    Hi All, First-time chicken keeper here, and I purchased a flock of 6 day-old "hens" from McMurray Hatchery, plus the one "mystery chick." I completely understand that sexing chicks is difficult, but I live in a subdivision and I am nervous that I'm ending up with more than the one possible roo...

    Whiting True Blue Hen or Rooster?

    This chick is 6 weeks old. I’m wondering about the feathers along the neck. Does that determine if it’s a rooster? Or do hens sometimes have pointed feathers there? Very sweet bird. No other male behavior or crowing (yet?)

    I ordered six true blue females from McMurray hatchery, they arrived today and I got seven checks total one was free surprise chick. The website says they come in a variety of colors but because of that I can’t tell which check is not a Whiting true blue. I would think it was the white one but...

    6 week Whiting True Blue, gender?

    Almost 6 weeks. Told they are likely whiting true blue. I have 2 of them. The whiter one and brown. A week ago I noticed the white one getting a slightly red but small comb. I can’t find many pictures online to compare. Wondering if it’s looking more pullet or cockerel.
