    Thank you for the critiques! The light is different in some of the pictures so that is possibly what you saw with a "green" eye...although eye color is a problem with all of my girls - the one that does still have a green eye is the youngest pullet and has her head turned away from the...

    CSU's Welsummer SOP

    okay...I'm not sure what exactly we are concentrating on so I just took a few shots of my girls...not great shots but...what I could get...its a beautiful sunny day after a dark rainy one so...they are either sunbathing or...foraging for all they are worth...tough to catch still! hopefully...

    I think the beginning of this session stated comb, eyes, earlobes, beak and skull structure - so we have looked at the combs, and eyes, the beaks a bit...are we seeing any large problems with those? - haven't heard anything about earlobes and not a lot about skull structure - what are we lookin...

    The eye color on my girls is definitely not what it should be...I don't know if it will change as they mature - could that happen? I will be looking at that...I have some new little ones from a breeder where the eye color seems to be much more correct so, if I would choose to see what these...

    oh WOW...I can see my girl's eye color definitely has more of a green/yellow tint - thank you for the picture for comparison!

    So...we discussed the first young pullets comb...what is the verdict on these two girls....about a month older than the first but still quite young...combs? and...is the eye color more correct? Also, it seems that all of my girls have the little feather "fingerlings" by the comb and...what...

    Okay...then should I presume - if we are having problems with combs here in the US and...should this girls comb mature as well as it looks at this point AND should she have more good points than bad, that I should perhaps consider keeping her for breeding with a cockeral that will offset the...

    I'd love to have a critique on this young girl - she is approximately 5-6 months old - not knowing what I'm really supposed to be looking for, this is very much an important learning experience for me.

    :) - we do have egg shows in our area of Texas (Austin and surrounding areas) - however, we often don't have any entries from Wellies...perhaps next year I will change that :)

    CSU - Chicken State University- Large Fowl SOP

    Have not noticed if the cushion in the topline dissappears when her tail is held higher but will see if I can get a picture of her with tail up and examine - thank you for the good words on the cockeral...only problem is...still very little comb and wattle...has anyone on here had their...

    Some lovely Welsummers! I have some young pullets and a young roo - two pullets are from a hatchery...one pullet and the cockeral are from a breeder not to far from me. I will post some pictures and...would love to have them critiqued. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get one where my cockeral...

    Obnoxious Welsummer Hens

    :) - I have three welsummers - two girls about 16 weeks and then another about 12 weeks...the older girls are in a pen with some araucana mixes that are very noisy and tell me off quite often - I'm late with fresh water...its raining (and that is...of course MY fault...lol) - the other one is in...
