Tetra tints

[honeysita]

I bought 3 yellowish/whitish chicks with a few black dots on them from tractor supply. I am almost positive they are tetra tints. I need any and all info people have to offer!!!!!! These are my first chickens ever, and I could use advice!! Thanks

Probably California whites/ or some call them California greys

Babolna Tetra Poultry is a large commercial corporation producing layers for the industry. See their product list here:

Yes, such chicks routinely get sold at TSC and other feed stores from hatcheries. I suspect the "dots" betray that may not be a Tint. Perhaps Cooper Farms is on the right track.

Good luck with your chicken raising adventures, and I hope you find everything you need to know! Don't forget to take a look at BYC's very useful learning center (If you haven't already)! Glad to have you with us. The learning center contains very great info on raising chicks!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Good luck with your new chicks! A good place to start reading is the BYC Learning Center https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center lots of good chicken keeping articles, this is a good one about raising chicks https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/raising-your-baby-chicks
X3 what Cooper Farms suggested, you may have one of the White Leghorn crosses, most of the big hatcheries have their own version now, Austra Whites & Ideal 236 are a couple more... they should all be really good egg layers.

Thanks to the Moderator for the great information on Babolna Tetra Poultry....These certainly look like outstanding production birds....I thought I knew everything but never heard of this company....Really a big world out there....Since Mt Healthy Hatchery sells two crosses called "Tetra Tints" and "Amber Whites" I wonder if they get their stock from Babolna...
