    Welsummer cross, cockrel or pullet?

    Thanks EweSheep - yeah we had our suspicions about the rooster. He will be well loved, but I have a lot of learning to do!! I came to the same conclusion about the Duckwing, but also thought that it had the look of a Dorking. She is kind of funny looking, but a charming little critter...

    Welsummer cross, cockrel or pullet?

    Haha draye - I am terrible at spelling - creativity is important and as long as the meaning isn't lost I say go with it!!

    Welsummer cross, cockrel or pullet?

    Hi guys, I am new to this forum and pretty new to keeping chickens. My other half brought me home three birds today and I was a bit surprised by them. I really could do with some expert opinions. Is this a Welsummer cross...

    What gender is my 3ish wk old welsummer

    Hi guys - having a panic. The other half came home with this today - 7 wk old. I think this is a cockrel, what do you all think? I'm thinking of sending him back to the shop with it as I wasn't with him when he bought it. Worried that the shop keeper was trying to pull a fast one.
