The Welsummer Thread!!!!

[HappyChickenLover]

If you have seen my pictures earlier of my birds, the babies I can't tell them apart at all, I don't know why, but they all look the same, it is very fustrating for me. I wish I knew why mine look exact untill they feather

Couple of pictures of my Welsummer chicks. They are 10 weeks old and have really grown up nice.

I have 4 but have room for a couple more if anyone has some older pullets.

Hello everyone, I am fairly new to the chicken family. We have dabbled with a couple hens and rooster here and there for three or four years. This spring however I dove right in and now am a proud mamma hen of 18 hens and 4 roosters. I have four welsummers and love them! I do have a question about one though; they are all supposed to be hens but the markings and coloring of one is different than the others. It seems to have more dark, lg comb but the feathers look to be rounded not pointed. She does seem to be the dominating hen of the four. I keep going back and forth whether a roo accidentally got in with the pullets at the farm store or if I am paranoid. The reason I am paranoid two of my roosters were supposed to be hens when they were sold to me.
Any advice on how to know for sure now that they are older?

How old would be a good age to post pictures of pullets for critique? I have 2 pullets that I would be interested in having critiqued as I am really new to chickens, but they are only 13 weeks old...
