At almost 8 months of age and 1.5 months behind the rest of the flock, our wellie has finally started laying and we had our first 5 for 5 egg day today! Soooooo happy and love the contrast of that dark egg!

Our flock will all be six months old this coming Sunday, and they're all laying 5-6 days per week...except our wellie. We never really expected any of them to lay so well to start, especially in the middle of winter. We know the more heritage breeds tend to start laying a little later, but...

Quote: W00t!!! Mine are only three weeks younger than yours....no egg yet, but got to be getting there! Eeeeeee, the wait is so hard now that it's so close!

Quote: That would indeed be crazy-awesome! Check ZIP 20152 (actually Chantilly, VA) as a primary, if possible. My DH works there and I am nearby and we've done all of our poultry receiving through them (and they're wonderful about it). Our local office (25425) is a possibility, but keeps...

Oh, Fred is a handsome fellow! Good to know they can be hard on intruders and easy on the girls...including banties, since the possibility of adding some shorter stature birds to the flock is out there. Any recommendations on where to look for a wellie roo? We really haven't had any luck on...

My DH and I are seriously considering a roo and while he doesn't have any sort of breed preference in that department, I think wellie roos are just gorgeous and would love to add one to our flock. So how do wellies stack up (banty or LF) regarding general temperament (towards their girls and...

Quote: Congrats and squeeeee on the babies! I hope the others are alright.

Thankies! She's convinced me that wellies will definitely always have a place in our flock.

Our wellie (and flockmates) hit 18 weeks tomorrow and are finally starting to get their "chicken faces". Unfortunately, the wellie's tail feathers all fell out (along with the BA and EE....they all had such gorgeous tails, too ), but hopefully they'll replace them soon. Checking out the...

Of all the different chicks, I still think wellies are some of the absolute cutist! Itty bitty bantam wellie chicks....SQUEEEE!!!

Mine gets along just fine with four other breeds...no one seems to notice that none of them look alike, and so far, our wellie is the flock lord.

Quote: We've got a wellie, and she's part of our first flock. She's 5 weeks now and has been quite a pleasure to have. She seems to be the boss of the flock, so far, and is super inquisitive (like our dom), though a bit more aloof than the dom. While you can pick her up and she won't fuss...

Quote: Thank you and glad to be here!

Our little Wellie, one of our first five chickens ever. She's been a delight so far, very independent and inquisitive relative to the other chicks...she also seems to be becoming more and more the head chick of our little flock.
