I have to sell him because the only hens that I have for him (as of March) will be 15 Buff Orpington hens and my one Red Sex Link
Nate - Don't know what line he came from. I bought him at the Tractor Supply Co. twenty minutes from our house
Oh, ok. So he is from hatchery stock(TSQ) - Which would explain why he has white/light legs - a TRUE welsummer should have CORN YELLOW legs! Leg color is the FIRST THING THAT I CULL FOR! I dont even look at the bird, until I get rid of all the ones that have white/off colored legs, afer that culling then I go for size/color, and comb last!
I would say if you can get $8.00 for him you'd be doing well. $10 would be pushing it i think. That is what i would sell my culls for that are not up to breeding standard. Just my opinion.
