I bought ten chicks this year at my local ag store. Three of them were supposed to be Welsummers and three were supposed to be Spotted Sussex. Well, the Spotted Sussex have turned out to be Barred Rocks, no question. The Welsummers are, for me, a bit trickier. I can't tell for sure what they are.
It's the three black hens. The one with the bigger comb (which is almost certainly a rooster) has almost a green sheen to his feathers, which you can kind of see in the top photo. I tried to get closer photos, but they took off.
