Is this a Welsummer?

[SelfSufficientMe]

Hi. I bought some chicks from a hatchery and quite a few looked a lot alike. I ordered Starlights, Welsummers, and a few others. I split the chicks with someone and I’m still not sure what I ended up with. I have one light buff starlight. I cannot figure out if this one is a Welsummer or darker Starlight. Any help? I know I can wait a month or two and see what kind of eggs she lays Thanks.

Most certainly is a Welsummer

Yes! She is a Welsummer. So pretty.
This is a picture of my Welsummers. I have twelve, and in my opinion they are a AMAZING breed!

They are beautiful The back body feathers are a little different but overall they look a lot alike. My one Welsummer is 17 weeks old. Do you know when yours began laying?

I had another chicken that looked very similar to this one but she had more of an orangish brown to her. Unfortunately my miniature dachshund decided to attack and I was too late to save her.

I have twelve chickens remaining but varying breeds. Welsummer, cream legbar, starlight, buff orphington, gold laced wyandotte, and two mixed breed OEGB that I hatched as my first egg hatching/broody hen experiment. Had to keep a couple
