I know this is an old post but, did your Welsummer turn out to be a hen? I ask because I have one that has a pure salmon chest and another that looks just like yours salmon with little flecks of black/grey.
Just showing off my adorable ebay mystery mutts.

Healthy happy hens are the best layers. ;)
Most breeds labeled as layers will produce 5-7 eggs a week. Look for breeds that do well in your area. Heat tolerant/ cold tolerant etc. There is a tool on here for narrowing down breeds based on size, eggs, temperament, and the such.
Although in...
Temperament aside (since none of them have hit puberty), which roo would you keep if you could only have one?
My hens are:
2 Tetra Tints ( RIR/leghorn hybrid) White eggs
1 Partridge Plymouth Rock- brown eggs
1 Blue Copper Marans/Welsummer hybrid- dark chocolate eggs with dark brown specks

here are my ICBs
Turkey Taser 3 months old. I love his coloring! Beautiful translucent green feathering. Hopefully his saddle feathers and hackle feathers don't cover everything up as he gets older.
My eight-week olds:
I know the mottled one is a roo but the two barred ones I keep...
I had three hatch yesterday. looks like two boys one blue with white spot on the head and one is black with the white spot. Number three is chipmunk striped and I HOPE a girl.
I only have two chicks so far. They seem to be auto sexed. One hen and one roo.
currently there are 9 eggs in the incubator. The eggs were shipped. The package was delayed and all but two air cells are detached. :( Looks like despite all that there are veins starting in a few of them.(a few...
Any updates or photos? I just hatched out an Ice cream bar an Isbar and a Cream Legbar. I'll will be doing a Christmas day hatch of more Ice Cram Bars.
One of the embryos in my double yolker died. The other twin is still alive. Will the dead twin be killed by it or just be absorbed you think?
The eggs were shipped and very poorly at that. Down to three eggs and only on day 8. Also the egg that did have twins has a detached air cell. :(

I got some eggs a few month back and this sassy little thing hatched out. I have no Idea what it is. I know the woman had Phoenix but she also had some Hatch Game and other game birds as well. Any guesses on breed and gender?
Two days old
One week old

I had 18 chicks hatch but I can't keep them all. I have good homes lined up already BUT I don't know who to keep! Please help me guess what mixes these are so I can choose more easily! Thank you!
Chicks can be a combo (or pure) of these Bantams:
Silkies (Porcelain white, golden buff, blue...
Any Guesses on if it is a Drake or a hen? Six weeks old still making baby chirps. His/Her Peking buddy is the same age way bigger and quacking her head off :D Sorry for all the feathers the two 12 week olds are starting to molt.
They don't know they couldn't even tell me what hatchery it came from. Got it and a mystery crested duck from Tractor Supply.
I'm sure to find out soon enough when they feather out. :) Just a little curious and impatient.
Whatever they are they are cute calm and friendly.
Welsh Harlequin was my first guess but the bill is throwing me off. Hard to tell from the pictures but the end of the bill is very light in color.
Of course this is coming from someone who up until a few hours ago has only ever had chickens. :)
Googled some Buff duckling pictures and some of...
