Purebred?

[Poptart3130]

Wondering if this looks like a purebred welsummer or not.

I don't think that's a Welsummer, looks more like an Olive Egger or something like that.

Comb is too long more like brown leghorn.. but the ear lobes don't look strictly white like they might if it was leghorn. Maybe EE or other hybrid.. possibly just very poor breeding.. what color are her eggs?

Most purebred birds come from a varied background and origin that usually includes crossing of many breeds for traits you want, sometimes throw back genetics pop up.. I'm not familiar with Welsummer background.

While I expect terracotta colored eggs from Welsummer.. that's entirely not true for the bantam version and there nothing specific in their standard of perfection like there is for Marans (that I'm aware of) and each bird can vary.

Without talking body type, etc.. everything is just far off enough.. could simply be hatchery/pet quality.. if purebred.. not for showing or breeding.

A more typical look for Welly from google images..

A decent read, maybe help you decide what YOU think pure or ??..
