Hello - new to BYC!!! I am looking for Welsummer hens. I live in the tri-state area of Huntington WV - KY/OH area. Would prefer private breeder to ordering mine from a hatchery.

This one is pondering inventing chicken wellies! Would they be Wellie Wellies?

Well 1st of all Welcome to BYC!

I know BYC member "faykokoWV" is from West Virginia. I'd have to look around to find any from KY. I do know you can look on the Welsummer Club of North America's breeder list for breeders in that area. Not sure if any have hens they are willing to part with. Here's a link to the WCNA website breeder's list. Good luck.

Thanks for the info.

Was hoping some of you experienced Welsummer folks would take a look at my new Wellie chicks and offer some feedback.
TIA!

Extremely aggressive. They attacked me the one day when I was going to check on them and drew blood. My husband won't even mess with them after he saw how bad they got me. They were only 2 or 3 months old at the time. My one hand has 6 brand new scars.We handled them several times a day. Never had chickens act this way.
