Welsummer Bantams---LOOK! Updates!

[EweSheep]

There you go folks! I hope your curiosity is satisfied!

These are over a month old. Two cockerals will be for sale. Sorry no pullets!

The pullets are on the right side while the males are near the corners.

Here are the egg colors in the carton...the bantams are on the left half of carton and ONE Welsummer LF egg on the right for comparison.

As for sexing them, I was alllllll wrong, thought I would have four pullets and three cockerals and one questionable sex. Lost two. And I have two pullets and four cockerals. So the sex thing, nope, not working on this one LOL!

I hope mine hatch. I got 2 dozen eggs and only 11 of them are developing due to hatch on the 16th.

I got eight out of the two doz I hatched. There were about two more pipped but died.

Frustrating to hatch them but once you got the numbers, all is well!

I hope you will have a much better hatch than I did!

Let me know how you did! Send pics too!

[EweSheep]

No offense taken!

Not everyone likes them! But I do!

I love my Wellies!

Okay.... I'm kinda new to the whole chicken thing... what does "LF" mean?

I have one Welsummer and I love her so! She is SO friendly and sweet! Is this a breed trait or just an individual chicken personality?

 

[EweSheep]

LF means Large Fowl and BF means Bantam Fowl.

Yes that is typical of Welsummers, they must be friendly, not flighty.

I have one LF Welsummer hen and I hope to have more by fall.

Those are gorgeous looking birds!

I just put some LF Wellies in the 'bator...do not have any of them yet so hoping for a decent hatch. Shipped eggs are always a crap shoot.
