Welsummer or Easter Egger?

[janiedoe]

My grandfather was named Doris... And my grandmother is Willie!

Omg! Love that!

they are pretty flighty, I had to put 3 rows of wire above our fence to TRY and deter them from going into the neighbor's yard. They still manage to get over it but I have found that if I offer lots of areas in my yard to find bugs and treats they are less likely to go over it.

they are decent layers, but not everyday layers. My 2 average about 45 eggs a month. One of mine is quiet the talker, she often seems to be laughing at me. The other is very friendly and curious about everything.

I'm not a big egg eater and I love chatty birds, she /he will fit right in as long as she doesnt fly into the dogs area of the yard. Fortunately my dogs are couch potatoes so they stay inside more than out.

One week later, so about 3 1/2 to 4 wks maybe.
Is Ms. Brownie a female @RowanTheRed ?

I think itis still too early to say for certain. I know that comb sure looks tall but here is picture of my two brown leghorn girls at that same age. Both of their combs were tall too

I'm calling it as a female Welsummer because males would have much redder breast feathers.

It is either a Welsummer or a BL, whatever it is I am going to still say female because the breast feathers should not be that color if it was a cockerel from those two breeds. Also, pullets can have large combs at this age, as long as they are not bright red and growing every day then you should not have to worry much.
