The Whitingare excellent green egg layers. This relatively new breed is popular as hens lay consistent large, green eggs, have an astounding feed-to-egg conversion, are not likely to set, and free range well. Mature birds range from reddish to chesnut in color, have a single comb, yellow legs, and are on the light side, averaging around 4-7 pounds. Day-old baby chicks display a variety of colors from golden to chestnut to a darker reddish brown. | Hoover's Hatchery Whiting White Leghorn Chicken Pullet
