Yeah your right it's that bit above his beak that made me think of Klingons lol.

I so wish I had a picture of some pasty butt - cause that would be some serious klingon lol

I am expecting Welsummer chicks in the mail tom

I am so very excited to have brown spoted eggs! What can you tell me about this beautiful breed? What age can you began to tell gender and what am I too look for? Thanks

I have heard people talk about chicks with the dark eyeliner becoming hens, you could look for that. Otherwise, you'll have to wait and see if they start getting a big comb and wattles. If you see those developing substantially at 8 weeks of age or under, you might have a rooster. Enjoy your chickies!

She is a little less timid now, I'm trying to teach ehr to eat from my hand but I know not to expect much because Welsummers are usually quite timid

She's beautiful! Mine became much less timid after she started laying - hang in there.

Mine will eat from my hand, but they don't like to be picked up. Welsummers are not lap chickens.
