I have about 25-30 "Whiting True Blue" female chicks available.
They were born January 30th, arrived from the hatchery the next morning (I had them within 24 hours of their hatch) and all are doing great.
At the time of me updating this ad (2/10/24), they are a week and a half old and already growing much bigger (and eating a lot of chicken feed)!
$6 per chick is essentially what I paid from the hatchery, so I am not trying to make money on this.
Expect to pay that price or even higher from a feed/farm store, since they need to make a profit! I ordered 50 only planning to keep a couple for myself.
This is why I can sell them to you for what I paid.
They have been Vaccinated for both Marek's Disease and Coccidiosis.
They have been eating non-medicated, non-GMO natural feed since hatch.
Here is a summary of the breed from the only "official" source of these birds (Murray McMurray Hatchery in Iowa*).
The popular and best-selling Whiting True Blue lays consistently beautiful blue eggs.
These hens are excellent layers, and are not likely to set.
Egg size will start out with medium size eggs and progress to large eggs given adequate nutrition.
Whiting True Blues are not Araucanas, Ameraucanas, or 'Easter Eggers' — they are their own breed named after the poultry geneticist* who developed them.
Each bird will have a varying feather pattern, coloration, and leg color which will add color and beauty to your flock.
This breed is heat tolerant, has a good disposition and free ranges well.
Whiting True Blues will breed true for egg color.
*The Whiting True Blue breed of chickens was developed by reknowned poultry geneticist, Dr.
Tom Whiting.
Murray McMurray Hatchery, Inc.
, holds the exclusive rights to the genetic lines for both breed lines.
As with all chicks, while these were determined to be female at the hatchery, there is always a tiny chance of one or two of them being male.
Simply because the hatchery sometimes makes mistakes.
Fair warning that there is that tiny chance you get a male.
Always a tiny risk.
