15 hens, 2 silkies, 3 roos, and the 'blonde chick Wellie' grew up to be all the color of the others front chest, sort of brownish red with 'yellow' shaft.
First photo above 2nd bird from the left, which would be the first one in the circle, is the grown up BLONDE WELSUMMER CHICK and it turned out to be a hen. Her entire body is the coloring of most hen's chests with the reddish brown feathers with yellowish shaft. The roos are frostbitten. Lines are mostly Lowell Barber, Calicowoods, and Whitmore. There are some hatchery influences that are hatchery/Whitmore cross, and there are some from the Fugate/Calicowoods and Fugate/Whitmore crosses. I believe the 'blonde chick' line originated with Ideal. No 'EXTRA' feather stubs anywhere on the legs or feet of ANY of these Welsummers. SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK? Pictures aren't too great, but coloring looks pretty consistent. COMMENTS WELCOMED!
