I'm getting some in two weeks. So excited!!!

Can anyone following this tell me how the WTB compare to Hoover's Prairie Bluebell Eggers? I have six of those, and they have inconsistent egg colors, sizes, and shapes, and I usually get 4-5 eggs a day. Wondering how they will stack up again the WTBs.

Hmmmm, this is interesting! One of mine does occasionally have a similar sounding white coating. Mine are very reliable layers and the eggs are all practically the exact same in colour, size, etc. One lays a slightly rough egg or I couldn’t tell any apart lol. Pretty sure I have 5 right now? Their only pullet olive egger I hatched last year is also an early and consistent layer

This sounds promising. I want high production, large or extra large eggs, with a nice rich blue color, with repeatable shape and size. Also I want to breed green and olive eggers, and I think the zinc white gene would mess that up. Sounds like WTB may be what I want. (sure hope so!)

Did you order straight run? Or all pullets?

All pullets, but I’ve heard the WTB sexing seems to have a lower accuracy than the usual 90%. Luckily the owner isn’t too fussed and having a breeding pair would be agreeable for her

Such a lovely mix of colors! Like a box of crayons!

I asked for them marked so I could identify them!

I can’t wait to see how they grow up! Way too many options for this fun breed

I’m so obsessed with it!

All WTB? How many did you get? I counted 22 but the fluff is hard to separate!

Yep! Someone posted they’d restocked last week and my hands slipped 25, but they added an extra WTB pullet and then our surprise chick was a Polish. I’ve already sold 7 and another two should be picked up later today

And three more coming next week from my original order last fall…. Yippee!!!

Congratulations on a hand slip & great arrival!
