The Welsummer Thread!!!! - Page 689

Robin~ Very glad you are home, Welcome Home. Continued Prayers coming to you my friend!

Happy Chooks~ That girl is lovely. I bet she gives you very pretty eggs! 2 cockerels and one pullet from your eggs are doing great! I have been busy lately and haven't had a chance to get photos of them for you, but will work on it soon. :)

Beesong~ Hey Lady! Good to see you back as well! The chicks look great! Congrats on such a nice hatch. Question for ya.........Do you have...or can you get a photo of the chick that is marked in the photo? It looks as though it has an un-necessary mark on the head above the eye and also looks like the V is very broad and large. What does the eyeliner look like on this chick? At first glance, I thought this chick looks to me, like a Barnie x Wellie and if that is the case then someone around here committed a big No-No!! And worse yet..... it also means I didn't catch it!!!!! I so hope I am seeing things.

Beesong~ Are these the very first chicks out of those Wellies you came and picked up from me last summer?

This would be the first time a chick like this from my birds has ever popped up......do you have any other breeds? I remember you had some RIR's when you came by....any chance of a mingling there?
RIR chicks would also have a chipmunky appearance.

:)
 

Yep -- they are the first chicks from those Wellies. I have a theory that will make you feel lots better! I have an Ameracauna that lays dark brown eggs, and I'm wondering if one of those got into the hatch batch. That would make this chick Wellie x Ameracauna, and I think that looks entirely possible. Out of curiosity, I'm going to hold on to this chick in my mixed-birds area and see what it turns in to. Photos to follow today, I promise.
