The Welsummer Thread!!!!

My grandkids play house looks almost like the one shown earlier, and I told the grandkids that we would make their play house into a chicken house and they didn't like the idea. They get upset now when the chickens go up there and make a mess. I don't know why they don't like the idea (laugh).

i purchased 5 welsummer hens at 4 months old in Fall 2010. they did great so i looked for a roo in our area, no luck, so i purchased straight run chicks from hatchery they all did well and i had a great ratio so i picked out 2 roos and some hens for 2012 breeding flock. cant wait for the roos to grow up and show their colors. i do have a few extra roos if you are in western ky area.... also i started a future breeding flock of blue laced red wyandottes i sold all of my extras of these already. at least until they grow another month or so. they are great chickens and very hardy.
 
I would think that most here would recommend that if you plan on starting a breeding flock, it might be best to consider starting with non-hatchery stock. There are plenty of 'pure' breeders that sell both hatching eggs and chicks from nice Welsummer lines.

Is anyone selling/shipping Welsummer pullets? I can only have females right now...and I sure would love to have 2 or 3 welsummers. PM me if you have some for sale. Anywhere within a couple hours of Nashville I could pick up. Thanks!
 
Has enyone gotten welsummers from Meyer hatchery? Looking for info on the quallity of the birds. Also are there any other breeders out there. I am looking for good quality stock to start my flock. Thanks
 
My personal belief is that the best hatchery Welsummers come from Estes Hatchery in Springfield MO.
