Can't promise that, or that the eggs I am newly getting are from my Wellies as I have a large mixed flock. But someone else with a hen at 21 weeks in MI has gotten her first egg (Townline pullet)... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/697050/michigan-thread-all-are-welcome/26250 Scroll down...

They are laying now, I think - I am getting darker eggs than I normally get, and they have some speckles on them. I'll keep track but it's hard with such a mixed flock. I'm sure they are the ones laying them - I have one Wheaten Marans but she's not old enough to lay yet, but I have some...

Thought I'd share - my three pullets and one roo - February hatch. Obviously the roo - he just keeps getting bigger and bigger.... All three girls... Hen one... Hen two... Hen Two and Three with Mr. Roo.... The are from Townline's first year of Welsummers. Will be...

Thanks! Sold 3, 5, 6 today - didn't want that many Wellies! I was up front with the buyers and they didn't seem to care. If I could eat what I grew I would have kept them but not there yet.

Almost 6 weeks...I think I know who is what, and who I am keeping, but not sure about two. If you need any more pics, let me know. I appreciate your help!

I'll be next - my chicks are at the 5-week-I-can't-tell-they-were-supposed-to-be-all-hens stage :) I'll give them a bit more time.

Yes from what I've been told. I found it interesting that FF got 22 hens and 3 roos - not the 50% I was expecting. And that I got 5 hens when I was given a "straight run" from Stateline. Maybe someone is sexing them there? Or do they have a lower roo to hen hatching ratio?

Okay, got the roo! I took pics to show the difference from him and one of the girls. I "heard" Stateline is not selling them well, so if they don't sell this year, I would think they might not carry them next year, then I can supply them. Here are the pics for posterity sake:

Really? Well maybe I will have to go over there an grab a roo - I do have an uneven number of chicks (13) after all....

Not really. I have four other boys here that get along. I am tempted but don't know how popular the Welsummers would be to hatch out and sell.

I just stopped in at FF and they got 25 from Townline (same hatching as mine) and someone sexed them all as pullets and 3 roos. So I went and looked; the roos definitely had no markings at all, so it looks like I have five pullets :)

When I was taming my guineas, I didn't try to hold them - just put my hand in the brooder with feed in it - before I filled their feeder, making sure they were hungry. They would flee to the one side of the tank, then one brave one would venture over, then suddenly they all were eating out of...

Hi All, Just got these chicks today - I would love to know what sex you think they are. Link is to the MI thread I originally posted on....Thank you! https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/697050/michigan-thread-all-are-welcome/21430#post_12856198
