Hachi's eggs are beautiful!! And clipping is easy. Just take a pair of scissors, tuck her head under your non cutting arm, hold her wing out, and clip (it'll be hard, feathers are thick- make sure you have good scissors...kitchen shears are great for this) the long flight feathers, just up to...

Which Bond women did you name the girls after?

My Wellie girl is the same way. Very reserved. She's friendly and will come over to talk with me, but she DOES NOT want to be picked up. She's perfectly fine with just our daily conversations and nothing else. I actually really like that about her. It's better than my blue laced red wyandottes...

Well, I don't have any experience with Welsummers and laying, really. I had a Welsummer over a year ago, but she was killed before she started laying. Come to think of it, I seem to remember her being a bit behind schedule at the time...not sure, though. Quinn is my first Wellie since, and she's...

That's how I thought it would be for my four girls that are the same age. There's 2 SLW and 2 Blue Ameraucanas. One SLW started laying near the end of November, and one Blue Ameraucana started laying a month later. No one else has laid yet...I thought for sure they'd all start around the same...

WOW! Congratulations. That's a beautiful egg. Big, too, for a first egg. I hope my little girl lays a speckled egg. Fingers crossed for that...I still have at least a month to go before I'll get my first one, though.

Yes, I LOVE Libby's coloring!!! She has about 10x the amount of white as my other SS. She is VERY sweet and follows me everywhere. I have never heard her or her sister make a sound. They're not at pol yet, so can't attest to that, but I can tell you that Libby is a lot more sociable than her...

My sweet little Quinny is 12 weeks old now!!! This is her with my Speckled Sussex, Libby. You can't see it here, but she's starting to get that beautiful salmon breast! I'm really pleased with how she's turning out!

You know, I was just talking to my mom today about recycling names. I have two BW Am bantams that were supposed to be LF, but the breeder got them mixed up and gave me them instead. I gave them names I loved: Clover & Charlotte, before I realized they were banties. Now I've decided to cull them...

She's named after a character on Glee...it's a guilty pleasure. I loved the name, so I decided to use it for her.

Yes, they are. Quinn is starting to get those beautiful breast feathers that I love so much and they're coming in the perfect color that I prefer on wellies!! I'm so excited! I can't wait to see how she looks when she's grown! And I'm crossing my fingers for speckled eggs!!!

My little 7 week old, Quinn, who I call Quinny, at the water bowl. She's the sweetest and most shy of my ten babies, but super friendly and cuddly, too. I love her

Thanks!! I agree.

Thanks! I was pretty sure, but I wanted a second opinion.

Hey everybody! I just got 10 new chicks from Meyer hatchery and I'm having a hard time telling the difference between my 3 speckled sussex and my one welsummer. Those dang chipmunk chicks!! Anyway, I thought you wellie lovers would be able to help me figure out who's who. I'm pretty sure two of...

And to answer your question, I got her at my local feed store. I was super excited when I saw that they had Wellies because I think they're beautiful, and I feel like I really lucked out with her. She's got really vivid colors!! Sorry about the comb/wattle pics....she did NOT like the camera...

Ok, here's a pic of Ellie's comb/wattle.... Another comb/wattle pic And a whole body shot, in case it helps... Thanks!

Hi, everybody!! I have one Welsummer pullet (named Ellie) who is 28 weeks old today, and I'm getting a little concerned because I have yet to get any of those glorious terra cotta eggs. She is the only surviving member of our flock, as our four Cuckoo Marans and her Wellie sister were all killed...
