I got 5 Welsummer day-old chicks last January from an online company and they've done well. My only complaint is that they hardly lay at all. When they first started laying I would get a few a week (identifying by color only) and now, virtually none at all. Realizing that it is Winter and all birds lay less, I am curious to see what happens to their laying in the Spring. With 31 mixed hens, the group still lay about 8 a day this Winter. Has anyone else had Welsummers from chicks, and what has been your experience with their egg production? Thanks!
