Whiting Farms in Co. What do you know about them?

[Aria]

If they are like the Blues that Dr. Bramwel got from Dr. Whiting, then they will be very good egg layers and also good at flying up over fences and into trees.
They are not like a lot of bigger breeds

n, Ron let them out today....sat in a chair and feed them scratch...they are very friendly and PRETTY. Their comb is vivid red and they are light mix of beige and tan. They stayed in the chicken yard and did go in at dusk. Waiting for them to lay. I know they must get comfortable with new surroundings first.

I have two black and white mixed breeds from a neighbor and they lay light green eggs. They are working out fine. Looking forward to the Dr. Whiting Chickens laying. We do have large evergreens around our Chicken Yard....hope they do NOT venture out. DARN...not happy to hear that.

How sweet is that......One of our 4 left the chicken yard today. EEK
Probably to climb a tree. They are beautiful in feather colors. No eggs yet. Looking forward to seeing eggs. I sat in the Chicken Yard today and gave them some scratch. Trying to get to know them. They are beautiful. Looking to my #4,,,,They are different.
Our only experience with Chickens were Silkies. They are GRAND...
but egg is too small. We have 2 Silkies....the 2 mixed breeds black and white and now the 4 Whitings and one cucu Maran.

The nice thing about the blues is that they are small for large fowl chickens. They should do well with the rest of your flock

All seems to fine. What other Breeds of chickens do you have?
And how many? Why did you decide on the Whitings? They were a gift to us. We are enjoying them.
