Month old welsummer

[Samabama12]

Hi I’m new to raising chickens. I have 3 welsummers that are a little over a month old and 1 of them looks completely different from the other 2. Are they all 3 girls?

I would say that numbers one and two are roosters. I feel your pain, once I got four out of five roosters in a batch of Welsummers.

Aww man. I’m attached to them but I can’t have 2 roosters!

You can wait for a second opinion if you want. Can you at least keep one of them? If you will need to rehome them you can find some tips here.

I don't know, they aren't getting the dark breasts that a Welsummer cockerel would be getting. It looks like you got 2 Welsummers and a Cream Crested Legbar (all pullets if they are the above said breeds.)

@Samabama12 do any of the chicks have head crests? Can you post pictures from the side?

I'm going with... Yes first 2 are welsummer pullets and the 3rd is a legbar or olive egger pullet.

Agreed.

My bad, I just assumed that they were all the same breed.
