Oh hey Jessa! Nice to meet you @Ndahly. wow, that is a lucky find! If you post a picture, I could help tell you if it really is a Welsummer. Like Jessa said, I do have 12 Welsummers, and I love them! They are extremely friendly. Wonderful foragers, and great free rangers. We got ours for tick control, and so far they have done a great job. They lay dark brown speckly eggs (I havnt gotten any eggs yet, but hopefully in a few months!) and around 250 a year is what I hear. They donāt handle confinement super well, so not the best option if you have them in a run, but they will probably do ok. Welsummers rarely go broody, and arenāt knows to be the best mothers. The roosters are Stunning tho! They are also an autosexing breed. So you can tell itās gender really early. A Male feathers in with a black chest, and a female with a brown. I hope this was all helpful and ask if you have any more questions!!@SummerTheAnimalGirl has 12 Welsummers!
Ah interesting, thanks for all the info on them! I'll get a better picture tomorrow of her. But it does make sense about them not handling confinement, because right now everyone's in a coop as they're just 5 weeks old. But she has exposed a few weaknesses lol and keeps getting out! Once they're used to being outside they will be able to free range so I'm sure she will enjoy that more!Oh hey Jessa! Nice to meet you @Ndahly. wow, that is a lucky find!

Haha oh no!I thought I had a Welsummer for a while but it turned out she was just a Easter Egger that looked like one
Yes, they're yellow!What color are her legs? Yellow? That's what mine looked like at around 6 weeks old
