I would imagine. I like the pea comb, way better in cold winters.

Right now I have blue/black/, wheaten, and black copper I just hatched. I do wonder if I can use the blue or splash Marans to create blue wheaten.

Maybe, at least a few just to try them out.

Most of mine were like that, but I didn’t spend much time with them. The Marans seem to keep them calm.

My first whiting chicks were a so skittish, freaked out every time I got close. These are with Marans in the brooder and they seem to keep them calm.

Can you pick them out lol.

I fudged up when I put them in the brooder and forgot to band the whitings. I only know one for sure because it’s chipmunk striped instead of blue/black/splash or wheaten. I guess time will tell all lol. I can’t believe I took the time to seperare them in the Hatcher and then just put them in...

The whites are wheaten Marans.

It’s going pretty good, I only set a dozen blue eggs, the rest are Marans. I’m still midhatch so hopefully more tonight and tomorrow!

Missouri, it’s so hard to catch the real color of blue eggs. They are a little lighter than that but they are a pretty sky blue.

Getting ready to incubate a few and see how fertility is looking.

Wow those are cute and really do like their food. Mine were nowhere near as friendly as yours.

I may just keep her for eggs if they increase in size. She just started so I’m sure they will. The whitings eggs are starting to size up and most of them that have been laying for a couple of months are laying large eggs. That’s definitely something I’ll pay attention to while breeding them.

None of my other birds look like this and no other whitings I’ve seen do. I’ve seen plenty of Easter Eggers that do though. I’m assuming she was just one of the extra chicks they threw in.

One of the birds from McMurray looks like your standard Easter egger mutt, I think they threw it in with my whitings. It lays an off white egg too, I’ll probably rehome it. It is actually pretty friendly and not as flighty.

I don’t know but those are adorable. Part of the fun with them is that you get such a variety.

I saw another post talking about barring in whiting true blues. Some of my birds came from Murray and some from a breeder. My rooster I kept has barring and is from a breeder with nice birds. These are old pictures from when he was 4-5 months old in their hoop coop.

Mine still are only laying medium eggs but I’m extremely happy with them. Not overly friendly but they come running for treats and aren’t as flighty as they were when young.

That’s still impressive!
