Hey Jeremy, Is this the young man I met at the show in WA? I have the LF WBS and you had Bantams. You also had a LF Wheaten cockerel there. God Bless,

There is nothing abrasive or rude about what Matt wrote. It was simple, pointed, and straight-forward. NOTHING wrong with that. This PC stuff has to stop. It's gotten to the point where nobody can say anything without somebody running to a Mod and complaining. Then the person gets banned...

Marcel, could you also tell us whether the yellow vs. orange legs are due to genetic (specific genes) or some other environmental or outside influence? It seems to me that if the orange is genetic in some nature, that it may be in the yellow legged birds but just to a much lesser degree...

So glad to see all the folks getting into the WBS variety. They need a lot of work but I still think they're the best variety and am thrilled to see more people taking an interest in them. Stay with 'em and work hard to make them wind up on Champion Row! God Bless,

Marcel, those are terrific looking birds! Not only leg color but especially Type. WRT to the Wellie with the one yellow and one gray leg, what causes that? I've seen Wellies with pea to dime sized gray spots in their legs. Figure it's genetic but would like to verify that. God Bless...

Where did you read or hear that? Curious because I know there are some of the egg laying breeds that will lay before the 20th week but everything I've read shows most of the Dual Purpose breeds start laying around the 24th week. None of my breeds have ever started to lay before the 23rd week...

I stopped medicating and vaccinating my birds years ago. Happy I did. I'm not positive but I think I saw an article in the Poultry Press, probably by Kenny Troiano, that said the feather-legged gene was dominant vice recessive. I just read a couple of times that stubs is a mutation. Can...

You don't remember correctly. I would hope the "President" of a so-called breed club would at least be familiar with how the breed was accepted. I suggest you go back and look at the information I originally provided you on the history of the breed. I don't recall ever hearing or seeing...

I think all one would have to do is read the Welsummers thread on here or the Facebook page and see that is certainly NOT the case.

I'm way behind again as this thread is moving FAST. Perhaps I will find this already addressed but to quick points before I move on and don't remember to address them if they haven't been. One, the important thing to remember about leg color is NOT that it lightens up with age, or can be...

What were his parents? Never heard of a BW Splash. I have a Splash Wheaten and it's similar but the body is white vice the pale blue. God Bless,

"I've heard a number of breeders who don't believe in outcrossing because too many bad birds will happen in a few years. However, Tommy Stanley was an example of someone who was constantly buying birds for his breeding stock. And, he had great birds of many breeds, every year. " I don't know...

Those birds are still too young to tell anything for sure yet. Wellies are great about maintaining a "teenager" look - just immature looking - and then all of a sudden within 2-3 weeks will change dramatically and really start taking on a much more mature look to them. This really became...

IMO the jury is still out on the white feather subject. I have not had this show up in any of my Barnies but I have seen it in my Wellies. Ironically, I had a Wellie cockerel that had white is his primaries on both wings. I have read that white can show up in a feather or feathers due to an...

Just got caught up with the new thread. Admittedly, due to it's awful late and I'm on the way to bed, I only scanned the last couple pages. Two quick thoughts. First, you can probably exclude 'Pearce" from the recognized lines. At least for a little while. Dennis passed away a few years...

You ask a good question and I quickly scanned the one page to see what kind of answers you got. I'm pages behind on several posts so I don't have the time to give a indepth reply that your question deserves. So let me see if I can help somewhat with this short reply. With a hatchery, you...
