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

You know they really look like Amberlinks!! I got mine from TSC last year!!

Here's the AL as chicks!

I think they were about 3 or 4 weeks in this pic!

ETA: The AL's get the beige on them too!!

Saw this posted somewhere else, and thought I would pass it along (although I hadnt intended to call as I dont have any Tetras).

Hope this helps your investigation into these cute chicks!

They resemble a thick leghorn or a Rhode island white or a white rock even. Interesting to hear how they do laying. Let me know.

I'm not so sure that's a her.......

What makes you think that she is a he...please educate us I'm interested in knowing. I bought six of the Tetra Tints.

Thank you for the link! I really don't think these are the same breed, though. It says those Tetras lay dark brown eggs.
Mt. Healthy Hatchery says Tetra Tints lay a very light cream color egg.

I've wondered about Amberlinks from the *very* beginning! lol I think they may turn out rather similar.
I know that the hatchery they come from carries both Tetra Tints and Amberlinks.

Wow, her legs are getting thick!! I hope Tetra Tints aren't crossed with a meat bird.

I think meat birds (Cornish Rocks, ie) are cute, but they don't live long!

Thanks for the photo update, she is getting so big!

Yours look like Leghorns. But, Tetra Tints and Leghorns look so similar at that age! It's hard to be totally sure.

So funny I wrote the Hatchery as well asking about them. Kind of neat we are the early generation of Tetra Tint raisers (did i say that right?) *laughs* Anyway I love mine as well, they always want to be in my hand and are so sweet. I look forward to seeing how they do once in their coop, which will be this weekend! Thanks for starting this post Sunshyne276.

I got some "tetra link" pullets from the TSC recently. One of them
is HUGE and taller than the others. I posted on the "What breed is
this" section of the forum, and the reply I got said she was most
likely a Cornish.
So... what now? She has been fed medicated layer crumbles for
the 4 weeks that I have had her. Anyone out there want a Cornish
hen/cockeral?
