I ordered several chicks from Murry McMurray. Breed include: Welsummer, Buff Orpington, Ameracauna and Blue Laced Wyandotte.
I had some die as chicks before I could tell what they were so it's hard for me to say how many of each I lost. However, I know I ordered all sexed female Ameracauna except 1 male Ameracauna. I ordered 10 Welsummer straight runs.
I have a ton of roosters now! But I can't tell if they are all Welsummer or not.
Can Welsummer have blue legs? It looks almost identical to the Welsummer roosters....

First two pictures are blue leg rooster, last two pictures are yellow leg rooster

Yours are juvenile, so may improve with age, as roosters don't come into full color often until the second molt. However, the top bird has pattern and color is off. Bottom bird also has off coloring.

Can't see them well enough for conformation.

Look at SOHC pic for a good looking Welsummer rooster and hen.

This is my advice to you........don't buy straight run chicks unless you have too!! Oh man! I have been through this so many times.......roosters, roosters, roosters! It's so hard to rehome them. We usually end up having to butcher. I like bantams, but people can't sex them cause they are so tiny. We ended up having to butcher six pretty little roosters, including silver sebrights. I was attached to them, but we just had to many. I had them on Craigslist and FB.

Yea I ordered all sexed except the Welsummer because they were only offered as straight run, I think next time I will just not get anything unless they can sex then!
