Can you guess the breed of my hen?

[LabMomma]

Wellsummer??

I think Welsummer

She is a Welbar, so she does have Welsummer in her. She is half Welsummer and half Legbar

 

[MysteryChicken]

Correct!!!

A Welbar isn't really a breed, it's a mix between a Welsummer, & barred rock.

I believe these are what hatcheries are calling Partridge Olive Eggers.
Here is a photo of mine!

Its a breed, the breed was created using welsummers and barred rocks

I thought they were mixes.

 

[Painted Calls]

I thought they were mixes.

I read somewhere that some lines breed true.

That's what I've read. Maybe they've added CCLs to the mix.

This is copy and pasted from another website:

• The Welbar was developed by H. Humphreys of Eastwrey, Devon in the 1940’s.
  
• The breeding programme used the Welsummer and the Barred Plymouth Rock and initially there were problems in fixing the plumage and the size and shape of the birds.
• Both gold and silver varieties were developed and it was the silver variety that was described in the standard.

I like the crele colour, all the barred duckwing autosexing lines kindof look the same. Welbars are autosexing, if they were just a cross theyd be sexlinked .. Some might think the hens arent as showy as the males on these crele lines but I find the females colour really beautiful and trippy lol
