Quick question for all you Wellie experts out there: My Welsummer is 23 weeks tomorrow and the only one of my 9 pullets not yet laying. When can I expect her to start? Thanks!

Thank you very much for your reply! Guess I'll give her a pass for the next few weeks I thought she was being lazy. Hehe

I thought she was being lazy. Hehe

could be, sometimes we find that they start laying and it takes a while to get the process going but on the other hand she could be lazy

keep us posted as to when she does start! They are well worth the wait

I have 2 wellies that are around 1.5 months old now... I was told they were pullets but I am starting to get nervous due to the size of their combs. Can anyone give me any idea's on what they think their sex is. Thanks in advance

Both are cockerels.

I have 3 wellie girls and they all started at 21-22. I think they were really early. I'm sure she will pop one out soon.

I finally got pics of my Welsummers. They are 6 weeks old. Please tell me that they are both girls! I am getting a wee bit concerned about the red on the wattles on the standing one (River Song). Oy.




Rose Tyler (Buff Orpington), Amy Pond (squatting), & River Song.

Oh and the middle one (Amy Pond) has a very strange head/beak. She's not cross beaked. It just like someone took her beak in one hand and her head in the other and twisted them. And she's well...kinda special.

While I can't even begin to sex them...I have to tell you I am in LOVE with the names you picked out! I might steal them for my next batch of pullets!! I love the Doctor
