Welsummer or Olive Egger?

[WingItRanch]

I'll post an egg when they start laying to satisfy the curiosity! I'd be happy with either brown or olive. Would be very happy with speckled!

If it’s a Welsummer cross OE, you should get olive speckled eggs. I hope you post pics!

Update: This is what they look like at approximately 22 weeks. Still no eggs yet, though, so I still can't confirm if they are OEs.

Looks like OEs because Welsummers have yellow skin.

That seems to be the consensus! The 2 girls look exactly like welsummers except for the pale legs. I can't see any other breed in them but someone suggested a whiting true blue which would make sense because they don't have muffs or beards or crests.

@bill3607 hi Bill I just saw your response to another thread and you said you have an Olive Egger that looks identical to a Welsummer. Did yours look like mine when they were younger? My 2 are approx 24 weeks old now and still not laying.

There something in the middle I think..

A little as far as looking very similar to a Welsummer in the feathering. But, that picture I posted was at around 24 weeks give or take. As you can see the combs on mine were large and very red already. They started laying around 20 weeks if I remember correctly. Mine also have yellow legs.

Ok thanks... so weird. I have 11 pullets that are all 24 weeks and only 1 is laying. I think they enjoy torturing me.

Is the one that is laying an Olive Egger that looks like the pic you posted, or something else?
