They aren't super dark brown or anything. Even a light green would be fun.

Editing to say: Thanks!!

This thread is great but so long. One question.... My Whiting True Blue roosters over say a SLW or Red Star, what color eggs should that chick lay? Could it be green?

I have a hen that was acting off, she was fluffed up in the corner not acting like the other chickens. The other hens started picking on her before I could get her out of the coop and she ended up getting pretty torn up on her back. So now she's in a kennel in our heated garage and seems to be...

My Whitings lay pretty consistently I would say every week I get 5-6 from each 9 month old hen. The eggs are smaller than both my Red Stars and My Leghorns. They started laying at 19-21 weeks. I have so many blue pullet eggs right now in my fridge. We ate the rmean roo and have 4 junior...

By "nasty" do you mean MEAN ? I ask because we ended up butchering our beautiful blue Whiting rooster. He was mean and I would not go into the coop alone with him in there. I have 5 baby Whiting roos that have just started trying to crow and they will end up with the same fate if they are mean...

Yes muffs on the face, the legs look like a dirty yellow. I can't see a comb at all. Thanks for you help.

I'm not sure. Probably a dumb question but can you tell comb type at just a few days old?

Good to know. Thanks

She does have puffy cheeks.

This little lady came from Cackle Hatchery in the Rainbow layer mix. She seems to be lavender or silver on her back.
