Dr. Tom Whiting developed this chicken whose feathers he could use for fly fishing.
The Whiting True Blue is a popular choice for backyard chicken owners looking for a beautiful and productive hen. These birds are well known for their stunning blue eggs which are a unique addition to any egg basket. True Blues are known for their friendly nature, making them a great choice for families with children. In addition to their striking appearance and pleasant demeanor, Whiting True Blues are also excellent layers, producing around 300 eggs per year, they come into lay early and reach maturity around 20 weeks.
Our pullets have been carefully raised and fed a high-quality diet to ensure they are healthy and ready for a happy life in your backyard.
My personal reasons I choose WTB over other blue laying breeds:
-The WTB has a higher egg production rate of about 300 eggs per year, other blue laying breeds will produce closer to 200 eggs per year.
-The Whiting True Blue comes into lay at an earlier age.
-I also enjoy variability of feathers colours from the WTB, as it's their primary characteristic.
Whiting True Blue Started Pullets (Grow-Outs)-$35 *Offered at 6-8 weeks old only
There is a minimum 2 chick/pullet purchase as chickens are flock animals and need a buddy.
Pullets- 6-8+ weeks $35 each
We won't be able to offer 4 week old pullets with the WTB as they have a peacomb and are harder to sex at the younger age.
