Welsummer or GLW???

[chickenmama2013]

Is this a Welsummer or a GLW Roo? Help please!

Does anybody know the breed of this lovely little roo? Please look at the first post. Thank you.

I'm thinking welsummer b/c it has a single comb. I believe the glw's have a rose comb.

Doesn't really look like either of those breeds. Maybe a hatchery quality Partridge Rock?

Definatley not a GLW and I am not positive, but dosen't really look like a welsummer either.

First of all, patience! Lots of us work or go to school and can't be on the boards during the day.

That said, I agree it really doesn't look like either one. Nothing about that bird says wyandotte, and the color isn't quite right for a Wellie either. I agree, maybe partridge? Where did you get him?

I don't see any strong evidence of Welsummer or GLW...nor something like a Brown Leghorn if and when he pops out white earlobes.

Did you get him from a friend? He doesn't look like any rooster breed I'm extremely familiar with, but I'm new to chickens. He could be a mix? Why do you think he's either a Wellie or GLW?

I thought GLW or Welsummer b/c I ordered that breed, plus EE's, & 1 Buff Orp. He's deffinately not an EE, or Orp. so I thought he had to be one of the other 2. I have 2 roo's that look exactly the same (like the one pictured). Unfortunately, I ordered from hatchery so who know's what I'll get. But how can they get that so wrong? I think my "GLW" hens (as the hatchery calls them) don't look quite like GLW's either. I will post some pics of them to get some opinions. Next time I will look for a breeder. I''m not raising them for show and they are wonderful regardless, we are excited to start getting eggs this summer!

The one perched is one I thought to be a GLW hen.

And I thought this girl was a welsummer.

Here is a pic with more of my flock, I thought the darkest ones were the wyandotts and the rusty colored ones the GLW's please unconfuse me!
