My welsummers have never been extremely friendlyto me. They just kinda blend in the group. They are not flightly. Man, do they have a LOUD egg song. Has this been the general experience with welsummers ? ? ?

So, let me ask you - - - Just how noisy are your welsummers during the egg laying process ?? Mine have just started laying ( about 30 days ago). They are so LOUD. They march up and down fussing LOUDLY at any other hen who in the coop while they are wanting to lay. I don't know what they...

Froggy with chickens now! : We thought maybe the change from several hens to one, being in a new place, and maturing may have been the cause of his actions. I would not get another roo until you have at least a half dozen hens for him. It is not fair to the sweet hens to be mated that...

Froggy, get yourself a NEW roo. You will love his crow just as much as you do this one You are afraid now and that is NOT GOOD. He will hurt you and try to hurt any other person who comes in his area. Start when they are young and you can teach them easily that you are Alpha. My roo is...

I was expecting the welsummers to be closer to the color of my marans. Instead, their egg was closer to the color of my wyandotte. MY QUESTION - - - WILL THEY GET DARKER or is this all I am going to get out of them ? ? ? ?
