Mystery TSC Pullet

[Higins00]

I have one of those from TSC it's a tetra tint. It's beak and legs are white like that. I also got Amberlinks that look like that but they are more yellow than the tetra's

Ask which hatchery they came from. If it was Mt. Healthy, she may be a Dekalb Amberlink, another sexlink that are fabulous brown egg layers. I have 5 from last year that looked just like her as chicks (& 15 more arriving next week); my hens are solid white, some have tan feathering on their wings. Bella's cute!

They are eating 20% Protein Dumor starter.
I can't ask the TSC, it is four hours away. I got the chicks when I was visiting my Great-Grandparents. I know some people down there, though. I'll see if I can get them to ask. I don't think they would know, though. It said "Hatchery's Choice"
I left the red light I originally had for them there, too. I will get a new one, I guess.
Another reason it would kind of suck if they were Cornish Xs is that the three I'm raising for other people will be free-ranging, and with how heavy they can be I don't think that would be the best for them.

Ok, as I was writing this I found pictures of Tetra Tints. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5893856
This looks exactly like them.
Anyone have any grown-up Tetra Tint pics?

No, I only have little guys like you. Can't wait to see what they look like all grown up.

I got a chick like that with the small grey dots, they were marked Leghorns, so I just assumed it was a white leghorn, but when I got home I went on the hatchery website, and they only have California grey leghorns, which are the ones with the grey spots. which I have never heard of because they arent grey they are white. Ours gets their chicks from townline. This is their first year getting them from townline, they used to get them from Mt. Healthy. I think that they are all the same in regards to The initial appearance of Tetra Tints and California grey leghorns. You may not be able to tell 100% until they start laying, Tetra tints lay brown eggs, California grey leghorns lay white. Also California greys are probably the same as california whites, judging from the descriptions Ive read.

That looks exactly like my cornish x's...Mine are a week old and 2 of them have little black and grey dots on their backs....I really think its a cornish x

Tetra Tint! ...and i'd also *love* to see a photo of a grown, or even a 6 week old or so, Tetra Tint!
I've emailed the hatchery, and asked if they have a photo of an adult Tetra Tint..
They said no, they have little info about the breed, they just get them in for Tractor Supply.

That is a cornish x. look at how thick the legs are and how wide they are apart....

 

[Fleabuskitty]

The bin they were in was labeled "Pullets". There was another bin labeled "Cornish Rocks". I don't think they would have two differently labeled bins with the same breed. The Cornish Rocks were bigger than these were, too.
Their legs aren't any further apart than the BSLs or the SLW's are, I think it's just the angle and low-quality of the photo.
I am almost positive now that they are Tetra Tints.

I've looked for these Tetra Tints online. No pictures anywhere of adults. What I've read is that they are a Sexlinked bred especially for TSC
