A McMurray Hatchery exclusive, the Whiting True Blue™* lays consistently beautiful blue eggs and is one of our most popular and best-selling breeds. 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 and Whiting True Green breeds of chickens were 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 well as the rights to the names of both. Written permission is required when using the names of either breed, and may be requested by contacting the offices of Murray McMurray Hatchery, Inc., at 800.456.3280.
