The Welsummer Thread!!!!

Here she is early on and the latest hatched one looks almost identical Here is a pic of the father though Pita Pinta is a mottled bird and I have BO girls Coudnt ask for 2 sweeter breeds though.
Is your elsummer chick a pullet or cockerel? I have 2 for sure cockerels and 1 for sure pullet. Another looks like this with maybe a bit less red. Hoping for pullet but thinking maybe cockerel..
 
My welsummer chick appears to be a cockerel

Which is a shame since I wanted pullets and bought feed store sexed pullets for this purpose. the other 2 died. Mine dont seem to be that sharp as chicks at least.
 
Caychris, thanks for posting the pictures. That is definite lacing on the young pullet. Interesting. Time will tell I guess. Dusti still has her adult molt to go through so maybe we will know more then. I never saw her dad mount a Buff O hen but then who knows what goes on behind closed coop doors.

The chick came out chocolate brown when the lacing developed I originally thought she was a hybrid with the Cream Legbar because we had separated the buff from the legbar and in with the pita less than a month ago (and my previous pita hybrid chicks, EEs,were all black) but when we hatched out another one about 7 weeks later that looks almost the same (slightly lighter underside as a chick) we realized it was a buff pita cross instead.

That's to bad. Mine are very inquisitive and curious. My cockerel is also a total sweetheart. We plan on keeping him for our flock. I'm still holding out hope the other is a pullet lol. Here is our welsummer cockerel..

Hello everyone! I am working on a little project and I need y'all's help. Can you please take a picture of an egg from your chicken after the egg has been cracked open or in half? The project is intended to demonstrate how eggs have a base color and a coating, so please include the inside color and the outside color of your egg. It can be on a plate, in a bowl, on some news paper, in the grass or even in the frying pan when you're getting ready for breakfast. Use your imagination. Thank you for your contributions! Lavender

EDIT: Please remove the inner membrane so the true color of the shell can be seen on the inside.

I have 5 Welsummer chicks that are less than two weeks old and I just LOVE how inquisitive they are!!!

I picked three chicks when they were a week old. The mom was a Welsummer and it appears that the father was a Silver Laces Wyandotte. They are 19 weeks old and the pullets haven't started to lay yet. I'm getting anxious!! Their names are Oreo, Choc Chip aka Cookie and Batman.
