Whiting True Blue Hatching Eggs
Whitings are our favorite Blue eggers! They are a bit more flighty than other blue egg laying breeds, but they make up for that in so many other ways! They have clean legs and occasionally have a muff, but not always. Their feather patterns and colors vary. They are a lighter framed, standard sized bird with a great feed to egg conversion. Whiting hens are consistent layers of a large powder blue egg. Although they take a few months after laying before their eggs reach full size, their pretty color and impressive productivity make them a favorite in our flocks!
With our WTB line, you can expect to add a stunning pop of color to your egg basket! Our line has exclusively been bred from purebred Whiting True Blues, known for their homozygous blue egg genes developed by Dr. Tom Whiting. Please read more about the WTB name below. Our breeding focus is on those large, lovely blue eggs. We have continued to improve the color and are proud of the beautiful hues our WTBs produce! There is something egg-specially fun about collecting blue eggs from the nesting boxes!

Hatching Egg Guarantee
While we guarantee that our eggs will arrive intact and beautiful, please note that hatching results may vary even if you are experienced. Due to the variable nature of incubation, hatch rates can be influenced by factors such as handling, temperature, humidity, and transportation, among others. We take great care in selecting, delivering, and shipping our eggs, but we cannot control the conditions in which they are incubated. Although we hope you have wonderful hatches, we cannot guarantee your hatch rates. Thank you for understanding.
