Waiting on my first Welsummers to hatch! Hatch date is the 20th. I am a Newby to this breed, and I am super excited to own a few.
Waiting is torture!
I'm a newbie also but learning more about them every day.

Yes it is! I cannot wait to learn first hand. My grandfather had Welsummer roosters when I was younger. I do not think that he ever had a hen. Those were just his favorite roos. Sometimes he ended up with mutts from them, but never purebreds.Waiting is torture!

Ooo! I am thinking roo too. Look at that comb. I cannot see the feet, but I bet that they are larger and thicker than your girls.I'm hoping he is a roo. His markings are much different from the hens who are getting bronze breast feathers and not loosing their eye liner. In a world where people do not favor roosters I really like them. My roos stay home. With thirty acres I can always make room for them. You can see my other 3 Wellys in this picture.One of the little hens is standing next to a suspected roo. You sure can tell a difference when they are standing side by side.
I just bought myself 8 straight run welsummers chicks about an hour ago after reading all this. Sounds like great birds.
Wow! Where did you find Welsummers for $1Only 1$ each but how can I tell the difference in gender?
