Yes, that is the hazards of shipped eggs. My ratio was all over the book on the shipped eggs I received, anywhere from 0 out of 16 to 4 out of 6. Depends on the postal worker's attitude that day I guess Glad you got one, but more would have been nice.

Hi there, Just one thing popped out when reading this - birds can get too much fat around their vent to lay easily. I would cut out the BOSS - it tends to go straight to fat. I was reading on another thread where somebody had a hen that was laying fewer and fewer eggs and finally quit. That...

I looked them up and I am still confused, Bellecross sells Gold Duckwing Welsummers and Partridge Welsummers - but I did not see any Silver Welsummers. I have never heard of Gold Duckwing Welsummers - only the standard Partridge color which is all I have ever seen. The Silver Hen looks like...

I am confused, I do not see any Welsummer roosters. The first picture might be one in the back going down the coop - but the bird in front is a Silver (Phoenix?) Hen- not a Welsummer. The boy in back doesn't look right either - Welsummers do not hold their wings down like that. The second...

What is so difficult on those is that their chest feathers are saying girls - but the first one's comb is saying boy. I have a few Wellies too - and I had a cross that was from a green egg (Olive Egger) and both of them looked exactly like the Wellies and the BOY had girl chest feathers - but...

They both look like my Easter Eggers. Both are Female. I guess you don't know the color of the eggs or you would know they were female. Let us know what color eggs they lay. I think they are mixed breed birds.
