welsummer

Hello all! I thought I’d post pictures of my welsummer chick’s growth every week through week 7 to potentially help anyone trying to sex their welly. At first I was positive she was a pullet, but as you can see in the pictures she became a he. He still has the eye liner at 7 weeks despite being...

Short story long, the bins at the farm store were mislabeled and we definitely did not get the pullet we thought we were getting. Can you help us identify? Shes about 8 weeks old.

We are proud new owners of 20 chicks now 4 weeks old. We have four Welsummers in our flock although I have my doubts on whether our Audrey is in fact a Welsummer or something else. She has a speckled head and lighter in color when compared to her sisters. At first I thought she was in fact a...

So I picked up this little cutie (Leia) yesterday. Have been told by the seller she’s a single laced barnevelder but I’m more inclined to think she may be a welsummer or welsummer x barnevelder. Any ideas? I’ve never had either breed before so not sure what to look for.

Hello I am considering some Olive Egger Chicks that are a cross of welsummer easter egger. I know the eggs can vary, but I am actually interested in if anyone has this cross and would like to share pictures of their hens?

I just had several chicks hatch. Father is a purebred Welsummer. Potential mothers include golden campine, silver campine, and silver leghorn. The chick on the right in the first pic was mothered by a RIR, but the black one and the chick in the second pic could be from any of the hens listed...

My 1 1/2 yo Wellsummer hasn’t been laying for around a week, and yesterday when I let the chickens out I noticed she was waddling funny. I checked and she’s not egg-bound but that whole area looks red and inflamed. Any ideas?

I thought he would have larger, nicer looking birds and be able to work with them more if he could be with them starting this year. Then I learned you could hatch fertilized eggs. I figured my daughter, 3, would also like So I bought an incubator and then a dozen eggs. We bought Welsummer as...

I’ve got 3 chickens that were supposed to be barnevelder pullets when we bought them. I’m thinking they may be welsummer Roos. Is anyone able to tell these two breeds apart? I will attach pics. Pretty positive number 1 is a rooster but I’m new to this so I’m curious about 2 and 3. Definitely...

Hey there, I would really appreciate some input on this! I've got an 8 week old Welsummer cockerel (Bob, formerly Amelia), bought as a "pullet" from a local breeder. Grew at slower pace than the others, but after his comb emerged, I assumed it might be a breed trait for cockerels? I was letting...

When I got her as a pullet last spring Nellie was identified as a Welsummer. But I’m having my doubts. First, her eggs are white (not brown). Second, she doesn’t quite have the same colors/patterns of pics I see online (I think she’s better-looking than those I see online, too ;)). I was hoping...

Hello, everyone! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Not new to chickens, had them for most of my life. I first got some baby chicks when I was a little girl and it was love at first peep! (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I currently have two mama hens...

I’m wondering what she is mixed with. She was sold as an “Americana” which I now know thanks to the BYC Community means nothing and is just a marketing ploy by hatcheries capitalizing on the similarity to the Ameraucana name. She’s an Easter egger and I’m totally ok with that! She’s from...

I am looking for some help with determining if we have any roos among our little flock. We purchased our 5 chicks from a local farm store, trying to get 5 hens. We were told the breeders had 85% accuracy in sexing, but no guarantees, so we're somewhat prepared for one or two maybe turning out to...

I'm 99% sure this is a cockerel based on the bright red comb and the early appearance of some small wattles, but I'd like y'alls opinion as well. It's also very wiry and jumpy compared to the others. This morning it had a hold of the white frizzle chicks neck feathers and was dragging her around...
