The Welsummer Thread!!!!

[vanalpaca]

WELSUMMER CLUB of the United Kingdom EGG STANDARD :
The Welsummer Club adheres to the Poultry Club Standard and scale of points for judging eggs. Size: Exhibition Welsummer eggs should be of good size
Colour: A rich, deep red-brown, as dark as possible. Some products are speckled and occasionally blotched. Glossy eggs are produced but the matt egg is the preferred.

They have egg photos and really dark eggs. The Dutch club preferred the splotchy or speckles though and didn't want to lose them while still getting dark eggsss..........

Someone even shipped me a Lavender one.

We have 1 or 2 girls that put speckles on their eggs but it varies from day to day- of course my kids figure that the speckles are caused due to "farting" by the hen as the egg is going through the paint booth!

Ba ha ha!!!

I like how your kids think! Gave me a huge smile.

Kim.......here's 2 of your babies. They are beautiful and feathering in dark so far. 8 weeks old. Not the best shots, just some candid ones today.

And here is a girl I kept from my test hatch of Moose and my hen Cleopatra. She's 4 months old now.

I love that look of Cleopatra and Moose's daughter! She is beautiful!

Thanks! I thought she had potential, so I wanted to keep her and see how she develops. Hopefully she lays a gorgeous egg too!!!!
