Welsummer Pullets... right?

[cherrynberry]

We got 2 chicks from the feed store today, I was not even there, but through a call, we purchased 2 welsummers. Not sure on age, but they are feather sexable. Based on color, pullets, but one looks a bit male like to me (compared to the other one) thoughts?

p.s. I am so excited to have some Welsummers!!!

They look like pullets. Color is correct.

Thanks! I sure hope so!

Thanks! I sure hope so!

If they were boys, they'd be darker, & have black coming in in the breasts, or will have black, & red mixing in the breasts.

Here's my Wellie cockerel for example.

I have 2 pullets? that are suppose to be Welsummer. One grew big and tall fast with no tail feathers (just coming in), while the other is squatty and has had full tail for a while. The big one stands tall and screams when I handle it (rooster like) I think they are first of June hatch. Do I Have Welsummer and are they hens?

Pullets, cockerels will have black breast feathers, & red colored saddles, & hackles.
