I have RIR laying hen under 2 years old (not sure how old she is). She is getting picked on like crazy and they are pulling out all her feathers. I think I need to rehome her. Anyone interested? I am in Clairemont. Send me a private msg!
That's too funny! I had read about both breeds and I knew one had white ear lobes but when I got there I was so overwhelmed with trying to pick 2 birds and she was calling them Welsummers so I just figured Wellies must be the ones with white ear lobes. I was also gawking about how big their comb...
Well, I think I am going to hang onto them but hey you could get some "Welsummers" from the same lady I did! She had a bunch when I went on Sunday and she was keeping them in a crowded, muddy pen so they could definitely use an upgrade in accomodations...
I just went down and spent some more time with them and they are already coming up to me more. I think I am going to keep them after all or at least think on it more. (Nevermind Aumlet). I do already have some friendly hens so maybe it will be fun to try to tame these girls up. I like how they...

I thought I was buying 2 Welsummer hens this weekend but when I got them home I realized they are Brown Leghorns! Bah! I kind of want to rehome them. They are flighty but is anyone interested? Or does anyone have any good experiences with this breed that could convince me I should keep them...
