I'm not sure where you got your Wellies from but I'll bet they weren't purebred. I'll bet they were crossed with Partridge Penes or even full Partridge Penes, talk about a flighty bird. My experience with 50-60 Welsummers have all been great, they are my favorite breed. They are the only breed I don't look to see where the roosters are before entering their pen. I can also turn loose two month old pullets in the breeding pen and not worry about them, how many breed can you say that about?
I have to agree with you on the Silkies though. I'm not to fond of any of the small foofy birds.
