I am bringing my young Roo back to my chicken guy, as I am unable to have a rooster in my town. I'm very sad about this. :(
I'm seriously considering getting a Black Australorp or a Welsummers. I've been reading about both breeds. The Black Australorp was initially on my list. But, he didn't...
Hello this is my first time raising chicks. I work at a farm and we received a shipment of 300 or so layer chicks five weeks back. Around 70 of them were leghorns, 25 are welsummers, 100 are isa browns, and 100 are various easter eggers. We have been raising them in a brooder inside our...
Hi everyone! I have a little dilemma with one of my babies. I have tried to do some research, but I don't think I am able to figure out what is wrong.
My little welsummer pullet has a swollen bump next to/around the eye, and it has caused her eye to swell shut. I have heard of Mycoplamsa, but...

We have two welsummers which started out when we first got them laying light brown speckled eggs but when our silkie started laying, their eggs started to be white. They are so white they are difficult to identify next to the silkie's, you can only tell them apart through the shape. (We only...

Hi Everyone,
New comer to BackYardChickens!
I was needing help figuring out what breed of chicken this was. I was debating between Partridge Rock and Welsummers, but the leg color of mine is different from those breeds. And now I’m not so sure anymore!
If you could help, I’d appreciate your...
I am located in Tonopah, AZ (about 50 miles west of Phoenix). I have chicks ranging from one to six weeks old I am selling at $5 each. The father rooster is a big and beautiful Silver Ameraucana and the mother hen either a New Hampshire Red, a Welsummer-mix, a Speckled Sussex-mix, or a Jungle...
There are 7 eggs which should hatch on June 4th. The chicks will be a cross between a male wellsummer with a Rhode Island Red female .The chicks will cost from 1$-15$ depending on the age and sex they are.They will also be socialized to make handling/carrying easier.

I have two Welsummer chicks bought together from a feed store the day after they arrived. One was from a tank of sexed pullets, the other from a SR tank. We asked the clerk to try for a roo. They were all so young and looked exactly alike to my eyes. We hoped we came away with a pair, but would...
I keep reading in the forums that you shouldn't be able to feel a prominent keel bone. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, so I thought I'd come here and clarify what I should be feeling with my Welsummer rooster and hens. They're almost eleven months old and I can easily feel their keel bones every...
Hi all, Looking for help or advice.
When i bought my Welsummer's i was told they were 20 weeks old, this was 7 weeks ago which should make them 7 months old or 27weeks.
Every reference i have said they should be laying by now but their not. They have not laid anything. They are settled in...
It's been several years since we owned chickens, and now we're back at it!! We're just putting the finishing touches on our coop and 20' run. We have 6 girls... if we're lucky. We ordered day-old pullets from Meyer Hatchery and had 100% success last time around, but we're wondering if we have...
Hi fellow chicken people! I have six hens, purchased from my local feed store the end of February this year (2017). Two of each breed: Welsummers (Vera and Vergie), Salmon Faverolles (Fanny and Pluma), and Easter Eggers (Thelma and Louise).
My two Welsummer girls, Vera and Vergie, were the...
So last August we bought five newborn hens: two Welsummers, and three Easter Eggers. (Plus two cursed roosters, but that's for another thread.)
Since I rent with roommates who don't like chickens and my mom recently bought rural property forty five minutes away, it was always understood she...
