I would like to show everyone the results of one of my "experiments". Almost two months ago, I hatched Welsummer from two different breeders: one with Barber line, and the other with Grisham/Hall lines. I just wanted to see the difference as the pullets grew (I know there are many other variables to consider, but I wanted to start with the different lines). The pullets hatched have different back coloring (one is darker). I took pictures of them today, and would like to know which is "better"?
