I’ve noticed that as my Welsummer chicken, Cinnamon aka Cinnie Minnie, has started to look like a Hawk. I just mean her pattern, colors, and even her beak has a black spot reminiscent of a hawk. Were they bred to mimic the appearance of hawks as a way to deter hawks or was this just random?
I was research online to figure out what kind of chicks I got. All the chicks on the perch are from the same clutch from one hen. Their mom was very aggressive and raised them very well as free range birds. I narrowed down to welsummer because of the stripe going through their eyes but one one...
Some odd circumstances have left me with a mystery, straight run bantam. (The rest of my chicks shipped today, it won't be alone for too long) I think I've narrowed it down to being either a Welsummer or a Brown Leghorn. I'm really hoping for a Welsummer hen because I know that Leghorns can be...

Hello! I lost the gender lottery big time (only 2/10 pullets) - and can't keep 10 roos for 5 hens. All are UNVACCINATED from Alchemist Farm in California. Alchemist is the gold standard for free range, sustainable, organic, chicken-centered breeding chickens. Anyway the 2 Black Copper Marans...
I have 2 3-week-old Welsummers.
I’m thinking my Rose may be a Ross 🤣. First two pics are Rose/Ross
Second two pics are the other girl.
Thoughts?
Pics arent the greatest, they never sit still!
This little chickie seems more bold than the rest. Jumps at me and pecks at me and chest bumps the other chicks. Won't run away when I reach for him/her (which is nice because my kids & I like to hold them). Is it too early to tell if a roo? It is one of 12 chicks of various breeds including 4...
So we've had our girls (hopefully all are girls) since 03/28/21, and we believe they were somewhere around 5 days old when we got them. Based on their development they seem to be almost 4 weeks old now. They had a field trip outside and we finally got some better photos! I'll do individual...
Hi everyone!
I have a welsummer hen, hatched March 2020. Was laying throughout the summer. Flock picked up a respiratory virus mid summer. Vet had me treat them with tylan. After getting the antibiotics, everyone started laying again - just not the Welsummer. It has been over 6 months without...
Hi guys,
Just need some help confirming hen or rooster for my 12 week old Welsummer, Daisy. I think hen but when I double checked with the breeder I purchased them from they're saying rooster. I think the baby chick photo clearly shows a hen.
What do you think?
Is my 4-week old baby a Welsummer or a Light Brown Leghorn? I believe I have narrowed it down to those two. She was chipmunk as a baby. I do not have another of these breeds for comparison. I know I should wait for her earlobes, but I am antsy!
Thank you!!

Hi All,
I am currently brooding some babies and will have 3 or 4 for ready for purchase the weekend of March 19-21. They were sexed day olds from Meyer Hatchery and they will be $15 a piece. As they were mystery chicks, it is possible the Welsummer is a brown leghorn.
Available for local...
Hi! Looking for help sorting out these babies. They are a mix of Welsummer, Bielefelder(spot on head, dark brown color) and 55 Flowery Hen(spot on head, light brown color). I think the ones at 12 o'clock and 5 o'clock are Welsummers, the one at 2 o'clock is a Bielefelder, and the one at 9...
So I bought several chicks from a hatchery in February of 2020. All of them have laid eggs (and stopped due to the shorter days.) Out of those chickens I had 2 welsummers, one had been laying eggs since at least September and the other STILL has yet to lay :( she is most definitely a hen. I...
I have a couple of pullers I can’t identify. I bought these birds from a hatchery in a Brown Egg Layer Assortment. I am pretty sure what most of them are but there is two I can’t figure out. I’ll post some pictures and tell you what I think they are.
These birds are almost 4 months old.
The...
7 weeks ago we got 24 chicks including a straight run of 7 Welsummers: our first experience with Welsummers and first experience with males.
Trying to sex them as day/week olds, we thought we had 3 male (very blonde heads, almost no eye stripe), 3 female (darker heads and dark eye stripes), and...
