Production Blue?

[Chickenupho]

Hi guys!!! So, I just went to Tractor Supply and bought the only breeds of pullets there were: Production Blue. I haven't really heard of them so can someone please tell me about them?

Probably a cross between a blue breed and a production bird like a RIR.

I agree.
Typically a White Leghorn crossed with a blue egg shell layer.

They are in the Strombergs 2019 catalog and they are a smallish bird that can lay more eggs than a white leghorn. I didn’t have them but have read up on them. Their eggs are brown.

They are brown egg layers . I’ve looked them up. Strombergs hatchery has them in the current catalogue (2019).

Can you post pics, since TSC is notorious for miss marking. Just to make sure what they said you got, you got.

Sorry for the inactivity! I’m in school right now so I’ll send over pictures once I get home.

Production in the name typically means it's a sexlink. So it would be a sexlinked, blue colored chicken.

I just bought 4 at TSC and that’s what they said these are. They are soooo cute! I have been wanting a lavenders Orpington but they are sooo expensive! Any of you have those?
