Whiting True Green

The Whiting True Green™* is a McMurray Hatchery exclusive. These are excellent green egg layers. This popular chicken breed is known for laying consistently large, green eggs. Whiting True Greens have an astounding feed-to-egg conversion, are not likely to set, and free range well.

Mature birds range from reddish to chestnut in color, have a single comb, yellow legs, and are on the light side — averaging just 4-7 pounds. Day-old baby chicks vary in color from a golden to chestnut to a darker reddish brown.

*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.
