So these are my two "Welsummer Pullets" as big boys now...they're 7.5 weeks old. Irma looks to me like a brown leghorn but I have no idea what Irma is...is he a Welsummer?
Irma is our dominant rooster and started crowing last week. Ethel still acts like a hen.

:celebrate Thank You! Mystery solved at last!!! :clap

Now...ahem....anyone in the market for a Brown Leghorn or a Welsummer cockerel? :lau

(Actually I'll hopefully keep the leghorn...so far he has been a fantastic rooster for the flock.)
i hope he goes to someone who will not put him in the stew pot....:oops:
