Quote: I am certainly not an expert, but they look like decent enough birds to me. The pictures look like they could be our on birds a few weeks back. The rooster especially looks like mine and, as I understand it, the comb may have too many points. I could be wrong, but I think it's supposed...

Quote: Well the birds in that picture sure look like BCMs. Could the prince be raising a French breed?!?!?! Since you've brought nationalism into, maybe Chuck should stick to something more Anglican then. Maybe some Orpingtons or Sussex. After all, there have been a number of Anglo-Dutch...

RE: Prince Charles The rooster made me question whether they're Wellies too. I wouldn't have a hard time believing that they were actually Welbars, which is an autosexing cross b/t a Wellie and BR. According to what I've read, they were once pretty popular in the UK.

I figured I throw a couple of shots of my roo on here. He's starting to fill in pretty nice, but he's got some flaws. He'd probably never go to anything more than a county fair anyway. He's a pretty decent roo. He's decent to the hens and the kids, so I guess we'll keep him around for a while. I...

1_FnkyFrm, Funny how that happens. I saw the parents of my Wellies too. Out of the six, I have one rooster who is probably 1/2 BCM or Langshan, a hen that has black legs (thinking Langshan as well) and hen that is somewhat patterned like a Wellie but much more red in color. I'm not very happy...

barred-rocks-rock I think it could be. I have some that looked very similar a 6-7 weeks. I would wait for another opinion though, as I'm not sure about the quality of my Welsummers just yet.

Quote: My wellies are not laying yet, but I've always like speckled eggs a little better. I'm really hoping some of mine are speckled.

Quote: I'm new to Wellies also, but DANG I hope my roo biscuit grows into that. Unfortunately his brother, Gravy, has feather stubs on one of his feet.

A couple of more recent photos Biscuit (roo) @ 4 weeks I have another little roo, Gravy, who is feathered up much better. Biscuit, however, seems to be concentrating on his size rather than feathering. I wish he'd put on the feathers quicker, I'd like to put him outside soon. Gretchen (hen)...

Quote: The chick in the first and last photo with the extra spot behind the eye, have you (or anyone else) seen much of that? I have one hen producing those and I figured it is actually a Pene X Wellie and I sell them as unsexed, dark egg layer mutts as Pene of both sexes have markings on...

Wednesday evening I picked up 6 Wellies from a breeder nearby. When I decided that I wanted to start a flock, I really wanted them but couldn't find them locally. So, I decided that I would just get half-of-a-dozen pullets from the feed store to start out. I ordered the feed store chicks and the...

I'm so excited. I'm going to pick up my Wellies from a breeder in Altoona, PA tomorrow. I can't wait.
