I have both Astrolorp and Jersey giants! For the longest time I couldn’t tell the difference. Now that they r grown it’s easy to tell. The jerseys are obviously a little bigger than the rest of my ladies. Also there feathers have a beautiful greenish, purple hue when they are in the sunlight...
There are a total of 15 hens and 1 rooster together. I’ll have get back to you about her age….i will have to find the pictures of the day I purchased them.
Dusty also appears to be bearded! Which I think is another sign that it’s a Whiting. Mine is named King Charles the first and I love his big ol white mutten chops!!!!
She’s the light grey hen in the background. Got them hoping to get blue eggs but ended up with 2 roosters and the 1 hen….Unfortunately I still have not gotten a blue egg. Is there a chance she’s not ready? Or, could she just not be a blue egg layer?
In fact they were. I no longer have the grey anymore. I still have the white one though. He is supposed to be a whiting true blue, so does that mean all offspring’s produced by him will carry the blue egg laying gene?
I have what is supposed to be 2 Whiting True Blues. 1 rooster and 1 hen. Her back feather have been all torn up the last week or so. She was bloody a couple days ago. But I still haven’t gotten a blue egg yet….could she still not be ready to lay yet?!?!
I gave my 15 ladies pumpkin innards the day before Halloween. They seemed to have eaten everything but the seeds! Should I have dried, roasted, sprouted, soaked, or anything like that?! How do I entice my ladies eat them?!
