welsummer

Hello everyone! New to the group and I was here looking for a little help. Feb 28th my chicks were shipped , I ordered from Cackle Hatchery. I ordered 3 Welsummer pullets, and 3 Barred rock pullets. They threw in a extra barred rock which turned out to be a cockerel. Now I’m questioning 2 of my...

Hello! I am looking for a male and female welsummer chick in WI! I’m located in central Wisconsin.

I picked up a few hens since I'm planning on splitting my flock by size and my roo needed more ladies. The lady told me two were Welsummer hens and two were cuckoo maran crosses. I don't particularly care about the breeds, if I have barnyard mixes that's totally fine with me as there's no plan...

I have hatched two rounds of Welsummer (rooster) X Cream Legbar chicks. This should produce sex-links. The chicks I suspect are males have very small head spots compared to other sex-links I have seen. What would cause them to not be as defined? My stock is from breeders and not hatchery...

I have 2 eggs in the incubator, hatching in 1 week. The eggs are from a partridge Welbar rooster over a Barred Rock hen. when this cross is done with a welsummer, the chicks are sex linked. Is this also Going to be the case over the welbar? Or is the extra barring going to change things? In my...

Barnevelder eggs, Marans eggs and Welsummer eggs

I’ve noticed that as my Welsummer chicken, Cinnamon aka Cinnie Minnie, has started to look like a Hawk. I just mean her pattern, colors, and even her beak has a black spot reminiscent of a hawk. Were they bred to mimic the appearance of hawks as a way to deter hawks or was this just random?

I was research online to figure out what kind of chicks I got. All the chicks on the perch are from the same clutch from one hen. Their mom was very aggressive and raised them very well as free range birds. I narrowed down to welsummer because of the stripe going through their eyes but one one...

Some odd circumstances have left me with a mystery, straight run bantam. (The rest of my chicks shipped today, it won't be alone for too long) I think I've narrowed it down to being either a Welsummer or a Brown Leghorn. I'm really hoping for a Welsummer hen because I know that Leghorns can be...

Hello! I lost the gender lottery big time (only 2/10 pullets) - and can't keep 10 roos for 5 hens. All are UNVACCINATED from Alchemist Farm in California. Alchemist is the gold standard for free range, sustainable, organic, chicken-centered breeding chickens. Anyway the 2 Black Copper Marans...

I have 2 3-week-old Welsummers. I’m thinking my Rose may be a Ross 🤣. First two pics are Rose/Ross Second two pics are the other girl. Thoughts? Pics arent the greatest, they never sit still!

This little chickie seems more bold than the rest. Jumps at me and pecks at me and chest bumps the other chicks. Won't run away when I reach for him/her (which is nice because my kids & I like to hold them). Is it too early to tell if a roo? It is one of 12 chicks of various breeds including 4...

So we've had our girls (hopefully all are girls) since 03/28/21, and we believe they were somewhere around 5 days old when we got them. Based on their development they seem to be almost 4 weeks old now. They had a field trip outside and we finally got some better photos! I'll do individual...

Hi everyone! I have a welsummer hen, hatched March 2020. Was laying throughout the summer. Flock picked up a respiratory virus mid summer. Vet had me treat them with tylan. After getting the antibiotics, everyone started laying again - just not the Welsummer. It has been over 6 months without...

Hi guys, Just need some help confirming hen or rooster for my 12 week old Welsummer, Daisy. I think hen but when I double checked with the breeder I purchased them from they're saying rooster. I think the baby chick photo clearly shows a hen. What do you think?
