    Is this my Welsummer hen?

    A while back I posted pictures of what I bought as a Welsummer hen and not only was he not a hen but he is not a Welsummer. I am now wondering if I got confused. Could the attached pictures be my Welsummer hen? I thought she was one of the Americana s I purchased but she has yellow legs.

    Welsummer hen or rooster?

    My almost 3 month old Welsummer chick somehow looks more like a rooster to me. I have never had a Wellsummer. When she was a baby she had the V shaped markings on the head and the eyes and from what I have read this should have been a hen. What do those who have had Welsummers think?

    New member with sick 15 week old

    I have been wanting a few chickens for years and finally built a coop ( 8X10) with a large 24 ft by 28 foot wired in pen and a smaller more secure pen on the other side of the coop. I hate to see them run totally loose as I also have a lot of hawks. I purchased 12 babies this spring and they...

    sick 15 week old hen

    I bought my first chickens this spring and have 12. One of the barred rocks seems to be a bit under the weather. It is awfully hot this week here in Central Florida but the others are all lively. Her tail is down and her eyes are not as open as the others. I just noted that she is also panting...
