Am I a Welsummer, or what?

[mangled]

Our chicks are now about 3 months old, and what we "think" these are Welsummers. They are a good deal smaller than the rest of the chicks we received at the same time. Ideal told us we received a mixed bunch of standard size brown egg layers.
Am I a Welsummer pullet, or what?

TIA-

I don't know what gender/breed, but that is a very beautiful bird!

Actually, it kinda looks like my Peanut (Rhode Island Red), but only from the chest up.

She looks a lot like my girls My girls have more of a gold color to their heads than a red but the coloring is very very similar.

My boys have more of the red coloring on their heads.

and one of the boys

Petite build, right coloring (I THINK), largish comb.......I vote Brown Leghorn....but I could be wrong, of course.

Coloring wise she looks a lot like my welsummers, but mine aren't small birds...they're almost as big as my marans which I consider a fairly large chicken.

Her earlobes look white. If they are it would mean brown leghorn...

I agree, white lobes, smaller build, bet you have a leghorn pullet

Ah, man, now I'm bummed out. Here I've been thinking they were Welsummers.

They do all have the white earlobes.

On the bright side, someone who is working on the old house on our property wanted to buy them all from me, and I was hesitant to sell any of my Wellies. He was looking to buy 8 pullets, and simply liked the way they looked. Now I can part with a few of them much easier.

They are so much more flighty than the rest of the pullets of the same age, and if I remember correctly, Leghorns are known for that, right?

Anyway - thanks everyone. You've given me a reason to buy some Welsummer hatching eggs.
