Blue Breasted brown leghorn

[NagemTX]

Has anyone seen blue breasted brown leghorns? There was a bin at our Tractor Supply store that had a lable for them. Should have taken a pick of the label. I know TS gets its chicks from Hoovers I think but Hoovers doesn't have this in its catalog that I could find.

TSC getting their chicks from Hoover, check out their website ... They have alot of "mixes" so if you're wanting "pure" heritage breeds read before you purchase.

Wont be purchasing as I have chicks already. Just wondering if anyone has seen these before.

I got mystery chicks from a TSC bin that were mislabeled and thrown in with the bantam straight run bin. I'm trying to identify them and they dont match with most guesses of sapphire gem since they have white earlobes, the roo isnt barred, and the ladies are giving me white eggs instead of brown. Someone said they look like blue breasted brown leghorns.

My TSC had a bin of them. If those in the picture are yours they are buteaful.

Yes- they are mine and thank you so much. The roo has such a funny personality and the girls are my first layers of this spring's chicks.

I just posted a couple nights ago, asking if anybody knew what my pullets are, and @The Moonshiner said they’re blue breasted brown leghorns from Privett Hatchery—a variety they’ve only recently started offering. There aren’t any pictures on their site, though they are offered for sale. I bought my chicks at TSC, labeled “Blue Leghorns”, but they look different, which is why I asked on here if anybody knew what they actually are. I’ll include some pictures of mine. I think they’re pretty, though they have the same temperament of other leghorns I’ve had—flighty and basically anti-human interaction, which isn’t my favorite. On the other hand, a couple have already started laying at four months, so they do have some leghorn-typical benefits, too.

A Privett Hatchery exclusive, the Blue-Breasted Brown Leghorn is a mix of our Blue and Brown leghorn chicks. The females will be mostly blue, with a red tinge in their breast and neck feathers, while the males are a gorgeous red-brown through the shoulders with a blue breast.
