Okay, I am a little dense and may need some guidance......I'm guessing the pullet on the right is from eggs you hatched from me?

maybe I should keep my roo, and hens . I have 3 poults and 1 young roo as well. This pair is laying right now. Maybe I should put some in the bator. I will try to get some pics this weekend. So yo can see them.

I am not sure if that is all that great.....since they came from a hatchery, it is probably one of those white bird that snuck over the fence to mate with a Welsummer however genetics do play a part in getting some "sport or white" Welsummers. Those were not albinos.

If they have been breeding all that time, I would need to see the body photos, type, and all that jazz. I know folks like to do that kind of thing but white birds are blaaaaaaaaah to me LOL! I do not see anything attractive about white birds but it's neat to see if they do produce dark terra cotta eggs.

I would have to say those are project Welsummers.......doubt if most of us or the APA would accept White Welsummers unless people do have a demand for dark egg layers plus meat fowl.

Royce, Nate and all the mentors, I'm on the fence on this!

How many posts does it take to become Flock Mistress (or Master :rolleyes)

 

[EweSheep]

Finding a few responses with researching on White Welsummers.......here is one I found:


i have pure welsummers, after 7 years of breeding we had a few whites ,we took those whites and bred them, we now have a white pure welsummer strain, i havent found any others but dna proofing shows them 100% wellsumers from our original stock. it is called a sport of breeds end takes somr time doing isell hatching eggs in the summer ([email protected])

I don't have much to say about them. I just know that they are beautiful, sweet, and great for breeding purposes

I'm sure that you can get some other great advice here though
