Look what I got in the mail today! I had no idea they could be so dark. I have had Welsummers, but my eggs weren't this dark. Those eggs are all speckled in different ways too. From the peppered look, to the mottled look. I have the breeders name on there..was showing it off on my state thread..but had to share, and, ask a question here. I remember reading somewhere, that Welsummers could be sexed at hatching. Now I'm reading that the V mark isn't that reliable anymore? And also have read that the Welsummer cockeral will get the comb in quicker than most breeds. I would love it if the V shape mark was still a good indication for a girl. Wouldn't that be easy..or is it...still?![]()
I'm glad you are happy with your eggs and that they all arrived in one piece. Also, thanks for the free publicity. We can use all that we can get. I try to ship the speckled eggs since that's what everyone seems to like most. But they also lay a dark, solid egg with little to no speckles. Good luck with your hatch.
