Welsh Harlequin Question

[CeeEyeGee]

Greetings all.

I have 3 new additions to the flock, if they ever get accepted in….
I purchased 3 Welsh Harlequin hens from a hatchery. They are 8 weeks old today and looking gorgeous but one distinctly different looking.
My question is, do Welshie hens ever have yellow bills and feet?

Thanks!

Hi there,
I have two welsh babies that are around that age. One has had a dark beak since I got her, and the other has had bright orange and orange feet. Buttttttt, this week it has been changing over with splotches of black. She’s also found her quack not sure that helps, but it’s been my experience.

In this picture you can tell the black coming in if you look closely.

Interesting! I can definitely see the darker color coming in. Thank you for the reply.

I'm late to this thread, but in case you don't know already, you have a male harlequin there. Males have yellow beaks and orange feet. Girls have black. His head coloring is starting to show here. He should be giving you a raspy quack sound.
