I bought 2 chicks from a feed store that were supposed to be a different breed. Now that I know they were Welsummers I am pretty excited. They are a little more high strung than my other birds but they aren't crazy. They are 8 weeks old right now but I'm excited to see their dark eggs.
If they came from a hatchery they're gonna be paler then say from a breeder, but in all fairness, to get really deep colored wellsummer eggs you kinda have to go out of the country (in my experince ^.^ )
