The Welsummer Thread!!!!

[Hens and Roos]

Has anyone had chicks try and use the waterer as a foot wash? We have 2 Welsummer chicks who are trying to use the waterer to wash they feet and are kind of upset that we raised it up

Well I ordered mine from a place in MO called Strombergers because I have ordered other stuff from them such as a hygrometer and they had a big selection of birds including ducks and geese.

I have 10 welsummer chicks and a few look too light colored to be true to breed but at least I know that I have both genders. So I hope that a few of those chicks look pretty enough and that the eggs are dark enough. I have never bought from crackle at this point. But thank you for answereing my query !

Strombers is in MN, and they drop ship everything. They are mostly just the middle man on everything.

In this photo I see 5 girls for sure..... possibly 7.

Would need to see more photos of them from different angles to be more accurate.

Let's see if Lensters stops in and gives his opinion. He's got a good eye.

They are adorable. You will love Welsummer eggs...still to this day after getting a Wellie egg I have to run up to the house and show everyone.

The standard calls for 5 points. It appears to me that 6 would also be undesired.

OUR standard in the USA calls for 5 points. In HOLLAND they can have 5-7 points.

Nate I have a question > What does drop ship mean and thanks for correcting my error. MO (in my mind) seems more rural that MI, besdies I am easily confused.
Are you familiar with Stombergers ? So far I like my chicks although I am not sure about some of the Welsummers. They are so light colored. I'll try to seperate them and post for pees opinions. Like I said I know that I have some pullets so I will look forward to seeing eggs in a few months.

tee hee, Drop ship .........they round the shipping costs into the price of the purchase. I get that after I pushed the send button but I am curious to know if you have used or are familiar with their reputation.
