They lay around 200 blue eggs/year. Nice gift

Whiting True Blue
Dr. Tom Whiting, a poultry geneticist specializing in developing feathers for the fly-fishing industry, developed the Whiting True Blue. With his broad background in poultry genetics, he developed this breed to lay a consistent blue egg as you can see in the photo. These are not Araucanas, Ameraucanas, or 'Easter Eggers', they are their own breed. The birds will have varying feather patterns and coloration, which will add color and beauty to your flock.

They will breed true for egg color, but will segregate into a myriad of plumage colors. Leg color will vary with plumage color.

Egg size will start out with medium size eggs and progress to large eggs given adequate nutrition.

There will be limited numbers available, so order early if you would like to receive these unusual birds in your flock.

And they are sold out

True, but a lot of hatcheries are sold out of lots of stuff this time of year.

I've seen hatching eggs going for $25 a dozen on them. I'm not saying that people don't pay $200 for them, just that I wouldn't, lol.

Congratulations! I have a bunch of freeloading silkies youngest 21 weeks and oldest 30 weeks no eggs yet, but no more crowers popping up either so that's good.

Hi Nick, I just moved back to upstate from NYC. While I was living in NYC i decided to start researching my next hatch. I wanted the marans breed but a higher quality than a backyard variety (lots of "marans" out there) but wanted true to breed. Stacey Murphy with sweet pea farms is right by you. If I were you, I'd reach out to her on facebook. Then plan an apple picking day (outside the city/LI) with her stop as your final destination. You will not be disappointed! and if you ever want to see pics of my birds from her, let me know via private message!
