California White chicks are a hybrid breed developed by crossing a White Leghorn rooster with a California Gray hen (itself a Barred Plymouth Rock x White Leghorn mix). This intentional cross results in a bird that retains the elite laying ability of the Leghorn while gaining a calmer temperament, better body mass, and increased hardiness for backyard and homestead conditions.
Bred for both efficiency and friendliness, California Whites offer some of the highest egg production rates of any non-commercial bird — making them ideal for hot-climate regions where traditional breeds may falter.
🐔 Hybrid Origin: White Leghorn × California Gray
🥚 Egg Color: White
📈 Laying Rate: 5–6 large eggs per week (280–320/year)
🌱 Temperament: Active but calmer than full Leghorns
🌡️ Climate Tolerance: Thrives in heat; tolerates moderate cold
⏱️ Maturity: Begins laying at just 17–20 weeks
🏠 Ideal For: Backyard flocks, small farms, hot regions, beginner keepers
🐥 Appearance: White plumage with a few dark specks or barring possible
💪 Production Span: Up to 2 years of high-output laying
Hybrid Vigor = Reliable Results: Stronger immune systems and higher survivability than purebreds
Commercial-Level Laying Without Commercial Drawbacks: Maintains 300-egg performance without flightiness or fragility
Lightweight and Feed-Efficient: Excellent feed-to-egg conversion for budget-conscious flock keepers
Friendly & Manageable: Better suited for family flocks than pure Leghorns
Heat-Proof Laying: Continues to lay in triple-digit temps where others slow down

👨👩👧👦 Families wanting gentle birds with high output
Whether you're aiming for reliable egg layers or birds to show, we have the perfect solution.
Most first-time and Arizona customers do best when they add a starter bundle that includes high-protein feed, chick grit, electrolytes or probiotics, and a simple supplement plan, plus an extended warranty if they want extra protection. These pieces together dramatically increase early survival and growth, and they save you from multiple store trips in the first week.
We hand off healthy, properly packed birds and eggs on our normal schedule, but transit timing is controlled by USPS, so delivery speed itself is not guaranteed and is outside our direct control. Our guarantees focus on condition on arrival and clear documentation of any losses, not on whether the box was delayed a day in the postal network.
Yes, extended coverage such as GritShieldâ„¢ can usually be added as long as your birds have not shipped yet, so contact support promptly if you decide you want extra protection. Once birds are in transit, new warranty add-ons are limited availability.
