Crossing a Welsummer rooster

[Coffee and Chickens]

Hello!
I was curious if anyone has ever crossed a Welsummer Rooster with any of these hens:
Rhode Island Red
Sienna Stars
Cinnamon Queens
Barred Rocks
Buff Orpingtons
Sapphire Gems

We have our first batch hatching now and I’m super curious to know what they’re going to look like and how to distinguish them apart as babies given some of the hens lay similar color eggs.

Hi there, welcome to BYC!

The offspring from the barred rock will be sex linked at hatch with makes having a white spot on their head.

Here is a fun toy that gives you some basic idea of what to expect...

I believe Welsummer color variety is called partridge. The calculator does not account for color leakage. The second drop down tab is in English.

Happy hatching!

Hi! Was wondering if you could show any updated pictures of your welsummer crosses? Do they they speckled eggs?
