Could very well be, when Welsummers start laying they can be lighter in color and of smaller size at first

I suppose I am lucky. My Welsummer bantams are real healthy. They take the cold real well. Oldest birds I've had are 5 year old girls, they are in extremely good shape. BTW garlic in the water bowls works great for worms! and its natural

I was just a thinking, and then I thought I outta post this. My bantams, I can't tell sex on them at all until they start getting feather colors. My wife and I been wrong so many time with those chicks

I really like her coloring from what I can see in the picture.

They kind of vary, but generally the bantams hang right around 30oz. Since I show them I know that it's hard for judges to understand, that they are the largest of the bantams. Even if you pick them up you realize they are allot more fluff then they look.

He is beautiful! You know those soft dog treats, kind of look like small worms, come in like 3 colors? Chickens love them, you can give those as treats and eventually probably get him to eat out of your hand, then tame gim

My oldest male is 5, he was a real s.o.b. He ended up with really swelled feet and has a hard time getting around now. so fortunately he doesn't jump me and my wife anymore, all the males after him have been really nice.

Thank you, you can kind of see the one rooster in background, hes 5 years old, and other is featherless. Cockerals are ugly still :D Welsummer roosters take a long time to fill in and look good, in fact one picture you can see two cockerals behind the girl

I guess after looking into it, alot of people say they are not good mothers, this has not been the case for me however.

Quote: Yea honestly, I wouldn't stress. Welsummers are great layers, now because I have bantams they aren't dark eggs like you will get, they are like sex-link birds which is the reddish brown egg. However the girls I have lay great, they lay fantastic amounts of eggs! They also make really...

Quote: Like I posted previous, I would wait, as long as possible, I think its worth it!

Quote: They are young still, and Welsummers allways look mixed when they are young, they take a while to mature. Cockeral Welsummers take longer then the pullets to fill in the feathering and color. I raise Welsummer bantams and they take right about 6-7 months to start laying, and if its off...

I'm gonna go against what faykoko says and say one looks like a cockeral, but It's hard to tell untill they get feathers!

Problem is if they get into habbit of eating eggs they keep doing it, you'll have to just collect them asap and hopefully they will stop.

good looking girl

Yea problem with hatcheries, and this is any of them is. They get the eggs from differnt sources and what they end up with is not consistant, you might end up with birds that are great and some that you want to shake your head at

Go back and look at my pictures of my Welsummers, that's what hen and cock will look like. Mals have red on hackle, saddle and on wings, green tale and black chest, up to quarter of chest can be red. females have that brownsish colored body with golden feathers with black runners on the...
