We have breeders in Arkansas and Alabama and one unlisted for bantams in SC. Let me know which size you want. Many of them are starting out to show or already shown some of their Welsummers.

If anyone is looking for some Welsummer hatching eggs I do have some. I usually do not sell eggs but this year I had someone interested so decided to sell some. I will post photos of birds and eggs. I have 19 Welsummers with 2 roosters. One rooster has lighter hackling the other is dark. All birds are of excellent size. Good big hefty birds. The coloring is striking and not faded in nature. The birds scream I am Welly and look at me. Temperament is excellent. Brave birds, friendly spoiled critters who love treats. Roosters are kind and gentle in nature. Have never shown any ill temperament or aggression. The roosters breast is sprinkled with brown feathering although it does not show much in the photos. I have attached a frontal view of one of the roos so you could see brown.
The eggs are large, some extra large and a couple are medium. The egg color is rich and dark and with smaller speckling. Some eggs are lighter speckling but unless asked I will not ship these out. I love the darker colored eggs. The uniformity of the eggs is lovely. Some compare to my Golden Comets and I think they are a 10 on the size/uniformity/style of eggs.
The price of eggs is $2.00 an egg plus shipping.
The chickens are a combination of the blood from Whitmore Farms and what was thought to be Lowell Barber. No hatchery stock is in this blood. Roos are mostly unrelated to hens. I just love these birds!!!!
I am located in Sunny Kansas.

Attached are some photos of chickens/2 roos and eggs. Eggs are pictured with a Wheaten eggs so you can compare size and color.
Thanks!

HELP!!!!
I placed an order for 3 cuckoo marans, 3 welsummers, and 14 americaunas and I can't figure out which 3 are my welsummers!!!!
I'm hoping someone more familiar with them can help me.
There are definitely 3 and only 3 welsummers....





Let me know if you need more pics. I can only keep 6 and want 2 of each so I need to be sure and don't have time for them to grow up...

The chipmunk chicks without puffy cheeks are your welsummers.

 

[dutchbunny83]

THANK YOU!!!
Puffy cheeks helped me narrow it down to 4!
Here is an individual picture of the 4 chipmunk eyeliner chicks without puffy cheeks.
Can you spot which is an americauna masquerading as a welsummer???










I couldn't get them all to pose in the same position, but these 4 all have the same size cheeks (your tip helped me weed out like 5 more I wasn't sure of)

Very nice coloration on the birds, especially the hens. I'm no expert, but looks like you are doing well with your flock. vjc

Top two in the middle on the top are Welsummers for sure. They have a more reddish tint to them than the others.
