Also the breeder specialises in hybrids, he said that both of these were female. Can anyone else see if they are female or male? Or is there not enough photographic evidence to see?

I get hens with spurs every once in a while. It's not a DQ,or considered a fault that I have experienced when showing them, so I don't worry about it too much.Do Welsumer hens have small spurs? My Brown Leghorn hens do. Im keeping my gingers crossed.....
I agree. Many hatcheries do not raise their own birds, they contract breeders and have little control over the breeding practices for their egg suppliers.hatcheries don't sell "crosses" intentionally... they just tend to have poorer quality birds and a poorer genetic pool. There is a evidence of Barnevelders and Welsummer crosses coming from hatcheries. I think it tends to happen more on the Barnevelder side and its very evident due to the poor lacing as the bird grows out. I've started with birds of both breeds from a hatchery and can stated this from experience as well as research.
