May take you up on that! Let me get my pens done and everybody moved and I will get back with you. I have some pullets not much older than that. Right now I am just over run with roos! I have one pen full of roos in cages cuz they fight. All I have to do is make one call and they could all be gone, but my Marans are changing and I am not sure who to get rid of now....

I'm missing Marans eggs, too. However, I have already arranged to get those in the spring. Since I hatched out 5 Welsummers, I'm hoping to get some pretty dark and/or spotted eggs by springtime - if all the chicks aren't roos. I keep looking at all these chicks trying to see signs of roo of hen. But I have no idea right now.

Carol Welsummers sex at hatch so you can tell now..the girls have a very defined eye liner as well as the V on the head..the roos have both but are less defined..more smudged looking.

He is free. My friend raised him hoping for a hen, but was a roo. He is sweet and loves people. Come on, You know you want him.

Also, He is still young, so you have time to get hens.. He hasnt crowed yet but should be any day now.

I went out and took photos of my Welsummer chicks - or at least what I THINK are my Welsummer chicks. I swear I have a hard time telling some of them apart. I only have 5 Welsummer chicks, but I picked up 6 that all looked the same to me. So one of these is a light brown leghorn - I think it's probably #4 - but I'm terrible at seeing differences. Anyway - let me know what you think:
