A beautiful bird that produces very attractive speckled terra cotta eggs, Ours have fit in well with other birds in our flock, being neither dominant nor timid.
Purchased my Welsummers from Classy Poultry. They have a flock of "Pure Original Lowell Barber Welsummers" no added bloodline. These birds came straight from Lowell, before he died. These are the darkest laying welsummers, I have ever owned. Their eggs are about as dark as my Black Copper Marans. You can not put them in the same egg basket, it's hard to tell them apart. Would recommend their stock to anyone that wants great birds.
I bought two welsummer hens and while they're very calm and nice, they do not like human contact. I bought them while they were about 7 months old so it could be because of the person who had them before me but no matter how much I hold them and take care of them, they still run from me. They're great egg layers though. They're also occasionally broody.
Best dark brown layers of all the breeds I've tried and I think I've tried em all. These guys are fantastic winter time layers and don't go broody. Great birds. Mine of are Whitmore Farm and I could not be happier with them.
Breed Details: I was awestruck the first time I saw a flock of Welsummers free ranging. The roosters were breathtaking with their bright colors and size, and the hens had an understated beauty. Then someone showed me an egg and I gasped at the wonderful color and size. I was hooked. In my experience they are a gentle, although not overly friendly breed. They take confinement well. Hens are very independent and do not tend to go broody. I have heard of roosters being mean but mine have been pretty laid back. Beware dark eggs can be tricky to hatch.
