I agree with about the appearance of tetra tints. I've never bought any for that reason. How do they compare with your other hybrids as layers?
They are outstanding layers, and lay a lovely pale tan egg. Looks gorgeous in the egg boxes alongside other colors of brown, a couple of white eggs, and a few blues and greens.
If their eggs didn't set off the other colors so well, I wouldn't be able to deal with their looks.
