The Welsummer Thread!!!!

[DeannaOR]

Deanna,

I have a bantam Cochin hen who is a honker. She's about two years old. We both have "weirdos"

I love my little weirdo though. She is obsessed with my shoes and is always underfoot..honking away.

Can anyone tell me the difference between 8wk Welsummer pullets vs cockerels? Here are our two. Thanks, Nancy & Doug

I'd say pullets

I have 2 wellies that are around 1.5 months old now... I was told they were pullets but I am starting to get nervous due to the size of their combs. Can anyone give me any idea's on what they think their sex is. Thanks in advance

i'm unsure if you're showing two different birds, or just one. but the second picture screams rooster. my wellie hens have never had a comb that big, even fully grown. also, the color says roo.

Colors scream cockerels to me.

Anybody got egg pics? My girls are still too young and I'm craving pics of beautiful dark eggs!

My little Welsummer pullet just started laying----these are her first four eggs.

So where do Welsummer eggs generally fall on the Marans scale? Anyone know?
