whiting true blue

I'm really interested in feather color genetics but have limited knowledge of it & would love to learn. I have Whiting True Blues that I'll be breeding & I have 3 roosters that I'm trying to decide on who to keep & who to cull based on which will give us the most variety of feather color in...

Hello! This is a True Blue and is about 6 weeks old. I’m having a hard time determining if it is a roo or a pullet. I am new to chickens. 🥰 I was told since the comb is lighter in color it is a hen? It is the second largest out of my other birds. Does anyone else have a way to tell? Thank you...

I have a supposed whiting true blue rooster that i bought from someone who hatched the eggs she purchased from someone. So he came from blue shell. But he does not have the white earlobes. Could he still be a WTB? Or did the seller of the eggs possibly have a mix up? He's 4 months.

Any input on this guy/gal? They’re 2 days short of 6 weeks. I’ve been concerned about their comb coloring up. I got them from McMurrays on April 10th and they’ve been raised outside by a broody hen.

Hi friends! I am new to WTBs and I'd love to offer hatching eggs as well as chicks from my flock. I'm wondering what to look for in my birds/eggs/roosters to produce the best offspring. I have two roosters (one gray, and one multicolored) and 6 hens. Since they are all so very colorful, I don't...

Hi friends! I have whiting true blue hens and roosters and would like to sell the fertilized eggs for hatching. The prices I’m finding online are anywhere from $40 a dozen to $10 an egg 😮. I’ve never sold hatching eggs so I’m at a loss on pricing. I would also like to sell the true blue crosses...

Cannot establish breed, it may be mixed. This photo is from a few weeks ago, and her longer tail feathers are now shorter and rounder. She is a wild chicken, always running around and jumping around in 2x speed. Very slim physique compared to my other breeds. When she was around 8-10 weeks, she...

First 3 pictures are Chicken #1, last 3 pictures are chicken #2. They will be 12 weeks on Saturday. I picked them out SR, out of the 4 I picked out these two look and act a bit differently. The other two have much more obvious rounded tail feathers and a single comb. These two have 3 rows on...

I was thinking I had only one maran roo but now starting to question everything 😬 can anyone help? I know it’s quite early.

Hi All, First-time chicken keeper here, and I purchased a flock of 6 day-old "hens" from McMurray Hatchery, plus the one "mystery chick." I completely understand that sexing chicks is difficult, but I live in a subdivision and I am nervous that I'm ending up with more than the one possible roo...

This chick is 6 weeks old. I’m wondering about the feathers along the neck. Does that determine if it’s a rooster? Or do hens sometimes have pointed feathers there? Very sweet bird. No other male behavior or crowing (yet?)

I ordered six true blue females from McMurray hatchery, they arrived today and I got seven checks total one was free surprise chick. The website says they come in a variety of colors but because of that I can’t tell which check is not a Whiting true blue. I would think it was the white one but...

Almost 6 weeks. Told they are likely whiting true blue. I have 2 of them. The whiter one and brown. A week ago I noticed the white one getting a slightly red but small comb. I can’t find many pictures online to compare. Wondering if it’s looking more pullet or cockerel.

I'm the Queen of the Castle!

I believe I have some unique roosters looking for a good home. They are 11.5 weeks old. I believe I have a Maran Whiting True Blue Appenzeller Spitzhauben Polish 2 Ayam Cemani Laced Blue Belle - half Ayam Cemani/half Easter Egger They birds have been hand raised. We hold them often and we...

I had a modest flock (9) chickens for a few years. I got rid of them in fall & am starting again with a larger flock of 5 different breeds. Dark Cornish, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, Sussex, Black Australorp, and Whiting True Blue. Added the latter as ordering a couple more meant free shipping. How...

I've been thinking my 6 week old Whiting True Blue is a cockerel because it's comb grew pretty fast. The breeder that I got it from said judging it's tail feathers compared to my Maran's that it is a pullet and my Maran is a cockerel. However, these two have been puffing up and fighting each...

So I bought a 5 week old whiting true blue today from a lady who gets them from Murray McMurray and she basically looks like a brown leghorn with a pea comb and more of a salmon chest almost. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. I didn't have much options as far as color goes, but I know they come...
