The Tetra Tint thread.. (Photos, info) ❤

Def. white leghorn going on there. Some of them look like white leghorn/red sexlink(tons of names for these - Tetra Amber, Amberlinks, Red production) and some look like white leghorn/black sexlink crosses. I think that's what you're looking at here. This would explain the size, production and colors.
Def. no cornish x going on here. They are meat birds and are huge and it just wouldn't make any sense. Although, one early poster did have a pic of a cornish x.
I don't believe that this is a "new breed" of chicken - just another production cross - wouldn't breed true, but great for eggs!

Does anyone have any pictures of your Tetra Tint roo at 8 weeks? I posted a pic of my chickens on the Facebook page since I can't post here yet. What should I look for? I so hope they aren't roos.

Thanks!

There's an ancona thread here on byc. Personally, I don't have any experience with them. They are a beautiful bird!
