Purebred Welsummer?

She looks like she could be pure. Keep her as a layer, as she is not breeding quality.

Doesn't look like a Welsummer to me. Welsummers should have yellow legs.

I suspect she is not a Welsummer.

The leg color may not be an indicator--although they should have yellow legs, I have had one who'd legs were very bleached out by the end of the laying cycle (my best layer) so it could be timing and the photo--what color do you think her legs are?

I think it looks like she has partially white earlobes, Welsummers should be red and I have not seen one with white (its a DQ). Her coloration also seems warmer than the typical Welsummer's should.

Ok thanks guys your help is appreciated
ps her legs are white~not breading stock

Did you get her from a hatchery?

 

[ChickenerMan]

No my neighbours shifted and they gave their chooks to me. They got her from a pet shop

I thought she looked purebred apart from the feet and was wondering if i could show her (im really keen on showing but im unsure where to get quality stock from)
Ps i live in New Zealand

I wouldn't show her, she isn't proper in many ways. Her legs could be faded, check her skin. Her skin should be yellow as well as the legs. Plus she has white in her earlobe and her color pattern is not correct.

I think she looks nice though

Could you please show me a bird from your breeding stock
