Welsummer question

[rothfarm2000]

It does look like a fayoumi. What color legs on the barred bird?

Yellow with a bit of black

Than it's a barred rock. Marans have pink feet. By the color it's a pullet too.

One more picture...

Well I didn't have much luck with them giving me the correct chicks, did I? At least, I think the light Brahma is actually that!

As I thought, looks to be a Fayoumi. You're very blessed, I like the breed a lot.
And it does appear you got a Light Brahma. Pea comb, columbian coloration, feathered legs.

Now I need to study up on the Fayoumi breed! She will be smaller than all my other girls, so I hope that is ok?

After looking at the barred closer, I would say her legs are more to the whiteish (is that a word?) side than yellow. Not a bright yellow for sure. Anything else to look for to see if she is a barred rock and truly not a maran?

Thanks!

Always good to do your research! Very hardy, healthy birds, predator-savvy, some of the best free-rangers, good layers, although not generally cuddly. Quite exotic in appearance, too.
It's perfectly fine. Mine have been quite spunky, making up for the size difference in attitude.

Not a Welsummer. Its either a Fayoumi or a Silver Campine.

Highly doubtful that it’s a Silver Campine as they are very rare.

Perfect! I have blue langshan rooster almost a year old, a blue langshan hen, an easter egger, 2 Australorp, a speckled sussex and a mottled java. The Rooster (Clyde) is pretty friendly, a bit bossy to the girls, but mainly just a loudmouth! I love him! I think these girls will be a good addition. Thank you!
