Hi everyone, is it oky to try to find breeders in here? We want to get Welsummers but not from hatchery. No luck so far. Thanks...reposting this s no one responded. Finger crossed.
they are so cute at that age ..congrats on the new flock ..you will want to pick them up each day and check their butts to make sure they are clean and have no pasty butt.. ..the more they get used to you picking them up the better ..they can be skiddish but with time they will get used to you picking them up ..it will help you once they get older and you need to handle them ..they shouldnt be so flighty then..the roo you'll want to hold alot when hes little ..he can get a little bully once he gets bigger if you dont take control right away ..by handling him , he should see your in charge and wont challange you for the top dog or top roo in this case ..lolHI ya'll, am newbie to Welsummers and pretty much a newbie to chickens in general. I am so exited about this breed. Three weeks ago we brought home 3 new baby Wellies! I was hoping for a little roo in the mix and I think by gally I picked me one! He is 3 weeks old with quite the comb
Here is a peek at a part of my chicken flock. A line up of my Wellies and our 1 week baby Orpington: Ricky Roo, Ethel, Lucy and Lil Darling the OrpI visit with these babies often, but am surprised at how skiddish they still are. Is this common with Welsummers? Compared to all my other chicks these three want nothing to do with me. Poo...Does anyone have some good tips to help me befriend these little chicks before they grow too old and feel too cool for me????
