Chicken Breed Focus - Welsummer

Thank you for replying.
I love their plumage.
Are they more common there ?
I've been trying to research if anyone has them in the US.

they are not uncommon in the US. I have one that was part of a 'mixed bag' from Cackle Hatchery. She is very sweet and lays beautiful dark brown speckled eggs. I plan to get more Welsummers.

Thank you, she's gorgeous!

Thanks, she has a lovely nature too. Lays well, and good broody. I think it's a great breed.

What is the one behind her?

I have two Welbars - depending on who you ask they are a sub-type of Welsummer or a different breed.
Basically they are Welsummers with a barring gene.

Here is Bernie who looks very Welsummer.

And here is Sylvie who apparently didn’t read the SOP!
