Welsummer vs BCM

[Iluveggers]

I have 5 Welsummers. Good layers, very pretty eggs. The girls themselves are chatter-boxes though. There will be Welsummers that are quiet too, so it can vary between individuals. I do love my Welsummers, they are good birds.

They lay the darkest brown eggs in the carton.

Where did you get your Wellies? Beautiful egg coloring!

I got them from the feed store. Forgot which hatchery supplies the chicks there though.

Welsummers are more of a surprise though, even the same hen can lay different colored-spotted eggs.

Those are REALLY dark eggs from your Wellies! I've been told so many times that Marans lay the darkest eggs! I have to make a decision soon ...

I’ve never had a BCM so I chose Welsummer, but I do have a cuckoo maran.
