The Welsummer Thread!!!!

[littledel]

My 18 wellies are about 2 week old now and I have been trying to tell what is what. Some are easy, big comb and wanting to spar with each other, other have almost no comb, but there are about 5-6 that have medium combs. Now what. When we got them, I thought I had about 12-14 pullets and 4 roos. Now I am only sure of 7 pullets, 5 roos and 6 I don't knows. Do the pullets comb always stay small or can they fool you sometimes.

See the black spots or smudges on the legs of the rooster on the first picture, those are just small featherings........a disqualification to the Welsummer standard, that's for sure.

Ok, now I see that feathering--wow, you are sharp eyed!

Thanks.
