Barred Whiting True Blue Specialty Line – Day-Old Chicks - Breeder Reservations Available
This specialty line carries the barring gene and is being developed for future sex-linked breeding programs.
Suitable for both backyard flocks and breeder projects.
Our Barred Whiting True Blue (WTB) day-old barred chicks are offered as a separate category from our standard Whiting True Blue chicks due to the genetics involved in barring.
Chicks that carry the barring gene can be visually identified at hatch by a distinct white dot on the top of the head. These chicks may be either male or female, as sex cannot be determined at hatch.
Important Information
A visible head spot indicates the chick carries the barring gene
Both male and female chicks may show this marking
Chicks are not sexed at hatch
Expression of barring may vary as birds mature
For breeders seeking guaranteed barred females, we recommend our breeder-only reservation program for Barred WTB pullets, where sex and barring are confirmed prior to placement.
Availability
Day-old barred chicks are offered based on hatch schedules and availability. Quantities are limited and may vary by hatch.
