Just wondering, does anyone have pictures of their bantam Welsummers? I am curious as to how big my babies are going to get.
Thanks, Cynthia

Dinahmoe, that is one beautiful roo!!!!!!! And huge! Makes me wanna HUG him!

Cynthia, if you can search back, there are photos of bantam Welsummers. If you can not see them, let me know and I can repost it again on here. They are a larger bantam than your ordinary Sebright or Rosecombs. More in the Rock and Orp size.

Well, that is it for this week. I can't believe how big they are. Can anyone see any major flaws yet?

Here are week 5 photos:

Oh pooey! I wish you could just send me some girls!!!!!! I have roosters coming out my ears

Out of my hatch today, I ended up with 14 girls and 3 boys, according to the face markings!

What do you think of this rooster?

I just got my first Welsummers last Sunday. I think they are around six weeks old. Can someone explain to me the comment about telling the sex with face markings? These are hatchery chicks and are supposed to be sexed but a couple of them have a roo-ish look. And also, are there any Welsummer breeders around North Texas? I'm loving all the pics here!
