Whiting True Blue Chat Thread!

[aliciaplus3]

I have 2 wtb that I have had since spring 2016. I live near whiting farms which is where this breed was developed. Whiting farms is one of the leading businesses for fly tying feathers for fly fishing. I found my birds at our local Murdock's, they used to source some of their birds locally. My 2 girls are still going strong at 2+ years, I have hatched many eggs from them and all of their offspring is interesting colored. I will have to get some pics soon because the ones I have are very old and will not upload..... grrrrrr

View attachment 1481135 I was told that the hen laying down was a true blue whiting. But everyone’s looks so different. Anyone else have a grey?

My whiting at 14 weeks

Just FYI, McMurray says 20 weeks so they're not slackers yet! Mine come this month as peepers.
