Supposed to be Welsummer chickens

[Danielle_N]

Hey guys,

I am the proud owner of these two pullet?? I think the larger is a pullet, she’s 8 weeks old and looking very female. The 6 weeks old one I’m leaning towards a Roo, but hopeful I’m wrong. Any ideas of breed or gender?

Much love

At that young age with that much growth of comb and wattles and them being that red.. I'd say both are cockerels. And they aren't Welsummers. Welsummers have a straight comb and yellow legs. Maybe someone else will be able to help out on their breed. Good luck!

They are cockerels and they aren’t Welsummers. Probably a mix.

The light brown-ish one (in the front of the pack in the 1st picture and backed up to the leghorn in the 2nd picture) is a Welsummer pullet at about 2 months. I don't think yours are Welsummers.

That comb and those wattles look like it's a boy!

You think they both are?
The bigger one is around 10 weeks

The bigger one is around 10 weeks, I thought for sure it was a pullet because all the feathers are rounded and light coloured chest.

I’d love to know the mix? They where bought as pure welsummers, but’s it’s very obvious they aren’t

Sadness

Mixed breed cockerels.

For the first one: I wonder if it's part Golden Laced Wyandotte. It seems to have a rose comb, gold/brown color, some lacing.

I'm so sorry that not only are they turning out to be boys but that someone sold you something different than you thought you were buying. I am not super great on guessing the mixed breeds but if I were to give it a shot..... For the smaller bird, that gold lacing reminds me of a Golden Sebright or maybe a Gold Laced Wyandotte mixed with something else. The bigger bird has more barring on its feathers. I don't have a clue about it. Sorry that I can't be more helpful!
