The Welsummer Thread!!!!

[dutchhollow]

I know I promised a month or so ago to post pictures of my new wellies. Here they are, one of my roosters and a shot of one of the hens. I will try outside tomorrow when they don't have their faces buried in the feed. I had just fed the ducklings and was trying to get shots of them and noticed they had followed me into the duck pen!

One of the hens, bad shot I know!

Congrats on your Wellies!

If you could post some photos we may be able to help you figure out who is who.

Here's my rooster, Moose. He's now 6 1/2 months old. I'm certainly not an expert on breeding, but from what I've read of the SOP on Welsummers, he seems that he is good breeder potential. If anyone sees a huge fault in him, please let me know as I'm new to this and want to learn.

Here we are all moved into our new grown up coop and exploring the run!

Can you tell which pullet is getting her size from her father?

I'm new to Wellies also, but DANG I hope my roo biscuit grows into that. Unfortunately his brother, Gravy, has feather stubs on one of his feet.
