Where is the best place to buy day old welsummers from?

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to accurately assess egg color in a photo....especially in a dark photo.

I always try to include white eggs in my photos, so people can start to get a description. But that doesn't always cure the problem. For instance, look at the two photos below:

and

In the first photo, the eggs on the right are Wellie eggs. In the second photo, the eggs along the bottom are THE SAME Wellie eggs. In the first photo, the eggs on the left are barnie eggs. In the second photo, the eggs on the right are THE VERY SAME barnie eggs. See how different they look in each pic? Yet they are, in reality, the very same color!

The best thing to do is to include an egg color chart in each pic. Unfortunately, even those can look odd in photos. So the only REAL way to accurately assess the color is to do it in person. And, in person, most folks agree that hatchery Wellie eggs usually just don't measure up!

I can say enough good about the people at Estes Hatchery. I have been real happy with the birds I got from them. Good looking birds and nice dark and speckled eggs.

I’m truly sorry to hear about your husband being laid-off from your job. As a recruiter, I am intimately aware of how many folks have lost their jobs over this last year. The Land Development Engineers have been – I’m trying to think of the word – decimated isn’t quite accurate but it’s all that comes to mind. What really burns me up is that everyone I talked to knew for years that this was coming. They knew the balloon was going to burst but they just kept huffing and puffing into it. Unfortunately, there are so many other industries that are tied to the Housing Market that I don’t think most folks gave it a second’s thought as to what the trickle down affect would be.

Let me just encourage you to encourage your husband all you can at this time. Believe me, if he is at all even half a man he is feeling a lot of pressure and probably guilt right now. He needs to know that you are with him "for better or for worse and for richer or for poorer". The absolute BEST gift you can give your hubby this Valentine's Day is to tell him that you will be by his side even if that means the two of you have to live in a cardboard box on some street for awhile. Just be there for him.

When the time comes that you want some eggs, just let me know.

God Bless,

WILL DO!

Hey RooptyDoo! Any luck on the Wellies? I am wanting some too. Have you thought about hatching eggs? My incubators are full right now, but I want to try them next. Are you still planning on going to Waterloo? I would love to purchase a few of your silkies. By the way, my one Marans turned out to be a Roo! Email me again, I got the replies I sent you returned with errors. I got some pullets last week at Rural King. No Wellies though.
