Moxie, They are definately NOT Welsummers. They are certainly Gamefowls. However they are pretty!

Merry Christmas to all my Wellie folks in here! Have fun!

Thanks for the kind words on the eggs everyone.....I sure wish I was getting some of those pretties nowadays! Sheesh...yesterday all the girls were going for broke and I got 3 eggs out of 30+ hens and of course one of them was broken.

I can understand your confusion and frustration. Can you give us a little more info about where you got those birds from and why you are interested in Wellies? Do you like the egg color? Or are you interested in the preservation of the breed as well? If you are interested in the breed for preservation purposes, you might consider getting some eggs or chicks from one of the very reputable breeders on this site.

Not really interested that be wellies...just trying to figure if they are dinner...or egg layers mostly. It doesn't matter tome what they are, just want to know, what they are. And my chicken knowledge..is zero.

The girls gave us the first egg Chrsitmas Day one year ago and we consistently got one from each of them most days until mid-August; we still aren't back up to production YET...we haven't had an egg in WEEKS even thought I have told them I know Colonel Saunders. I know they were moulting, they were feathers everywhere, and thought they'd be finished by now, but there are still lots of feathers every day... *sigh Maybe now that the days will start lengthening, they will get back at it.

I just wanted to post a few pictures of my Welsummers. All 3 pullets are laying. The cockerel doesn't have much of a tail. He was in the mixed flock until a week ago and was low man on the totem pole. His tail seems to lean to his left. Will that fix itself when it grows back in or should I look for a new boy?
Thanks,
Jim
