Welsummer Eggs from Estes and/or Whitmore Farms

[mxschwartz]

I am going to raise some Welsummers as my chicken projct.

Trying to decide which is the better supplier of chicks. Please let me know if you have Wellies from either of these places.

And, do you like them? I would love to see pictures of eggs.......

Thanks!

Michael

There is a huge Welsummer thread on this site (shouldn't be hard to find. Look in the topic "chicken breeds"?)
The folks on there are very knowledgable and super friendly, I bet they can answer your question

Here are some pics of welsummer eggs and the lines they came from. My pictures are there as well, although I didn't get mine from either Estes or Whitmore. The breeder I got them from had mostly Barber lines with a couple hens from Whitmore.

I love my wellies. The birds are gorgeous, the eggs are nice and dark, and I love the speckles they can have on them too.
