The Welsummer Thread!!!!

Ok this is to clear up what I posted wrong late one night as it has rubbed some people wrong.
I don't want to confuse anyone and I fixed where I did not catch the u before the a in spelling sorry again. I did not mean to hit it off so well with some.

Hope this clears the air and we can get back to the welsummers and hopefully forgive and forget.
Hope y'all have a great day and best wishes will all your breeds!
My corrections are as follows. Please note this is just leg color I did not add what the bottom of feet color should be-
Araucanas- black to dark willow on blks and blk breasted red ,gold and silver duckwing willow and white -yellow ( colors on legs)
Ameraucanas- slate to blk
Sorry for the mix up hope this clears it up. It is out of the 2010 asop book.

Just for clarity and future information... In case I am the person being referred to, I was not rubbed the wrong way and the post did not hit me one way or the other. The Ameraucana just happens to be one of the breeds I show and there is probably more misinformation out there about the breed than there is correct information. So when I posted my comments it was purely and simply to provide accurate information for anyone who might be reading the comments including the OP who had pictures of her birds on her post.

The problem with written communication is that it can often be misinterpreted and things can be read into it that was not originally meant. It's a good idea to give the benefit of the doubt and be a little thick skinned so if one does reply to your post and/or correct something that was said, one doesn't take it personally. I don't think anyone on here intentionally tries to offend someone or be demeaning. Certainly not I.

Whether it's about Welsummers or some other breed, the important thing is that accurate and correct information is given so that others are not misled.

God Bless,
 
you definately need to do that Opa!


btw, nobody ever responded about the similarities between silver duck wing Welsummers and Dorkings.. Were dorkings used to get the pattern in wellies?
 
I have some Wellies who tend to go broody. Last year I grafted 6 guinea keets onto one of them, and she raised them up perfectly. This year I've tucked some incubator hatchlings (Wellies) under a different one, and she took them on after a bit of screaming shock and peep-pecking. A few of my Wellies sound and look as though they're broody while laying but don't follow through. The Wellies are the only ones here who SCREAM and screech at me just when egg-laying, giving all impression of being broody ..... but not.

Hi Kate! All of my girls do that when they are laying an egg. They are fierce about their territory and their privacy when trying to lay, but boy howdy, they are savage when they are truly broody. Screech, puff up, screech some more, peck....screech.......you know the drill. LOL!


By the way...I was going to ask everyone.....my girls have stopped singing the egg song, seems like they haven't sang since my boy Odin has been gone. Do you think they know or miss him? He used to sing their song with them.
They have a new roo in with them as they are living in the laying flock until one of the cockerels that I just hatched from Kelly grows up, but the roo in with them does not sing the egg song.

I miss hearing them. Wonder if they will ever go back to it?
