The Welsummer Thread!!!!

[EweSheep]

You got me there!

The bottom pic, I want to say boy too! But the coloration is too weird to be a Welsummer or some kind of throwback color popping up.

It is going to be interesting to see how these chicks will develop into.

It's from the Welsummer pen so it will be interesting to watch and this one is the only one who is showing coloring like this. Might just have to hold this one back.

Wow, that is really strange coloring indeed! I'm stumped. (course that's not hard to do

) And I think it's a boy.

After seeing how red the wattles look on it at 3 weeks old make me wonder too! So at this point we are calling this one S/he

I will post some pictures of this one later this afternoon when I get home from work and DD is home from school to help

Here are a couple pictures of the chick showing the salmon colored feathers on its back- it is a girl and she is banded pink-white(she was chick girl #4 in previous posts).

This picture we took to show how red the wattles look, could this chick possible be undecided as to girl or boy?

might have to keep a close eye on this one.

So Is this the same chick in the last photo of the first set of photo's that you posted the chick that I originally said looked like a cockerel but I wasn't sure 'cause the photo was kinda fuzzy?
