Wellsummer ???

Hi all can any one tell me if these chicks are Wellsummers or Barnavelders?

They are either welsummers or brown leghorns. Barnavelders are much darker with slightley different markings. You will until they are older to be able to tell which they are

They are neither Welsummers or Barnevelders. I breed both and your chicks are too light. Where did you get them?

I'm glad someone with more experience finally said that! I have no clue on the Barnies, but I was pretty sure those were too light for Welsummer chicks. It's been so long since I had some, though, I wasn't sure if I was remembering right. And don't they have yellow legs?

I agree that these birds are too light to be either unless the welsummers are gold duckwing coloured, but even then still slighly too light

they could be HQ welsummers. That would explain, why they are slightly too light. HQ doesn't meet the SOP.

What does HQ stand for?
