    Countdown to the first egg. Buckle up, it could be awhile....

    As of October 5th, my 15 pullets are 18 weeks old. I also have a cockerel from my MIL who is 2-4 weeks older. I am (im)patiently waiting for my first egg. In the meantime I’m going to post a profile for each of my chickens. One a day. Hopefully it will help the next 16 days go fast and maybe...

    Welsummer with heavy bloom pale eggs ??

    I have a Welsummer pullet (hatched April 13th '20) that has been laying for 2 weeks. She eats high quality organic feed, free choice oyster shell and lots of fresh dark greens, veggies and fruit. Her eggs have a HEAVY bloom and more often than not, appear pink. If I wipe them clean they are...

    Assorted Bantams

    Hello chicken friends! My family just got our second flock going. We have 6 pullets (2 gold sex link, 2 Columbian Wyandottes, 2 big all grey ones ?) and we picked two out of the assorted bantam bin at TSC. The employee said the ones with the heaviest eyeliner were more likely to be pullets. I’m...

    Chicken Math & Genetics Experiments in Southeast Missouri

    I recently left city life & corporate America after 20+ years and moved to rural southeast Missouri, to restart/rebuild the family farm where my dad grew up. I got my first chickens --4 Dominique hens and a Rooster--from Cackle Hatchery in June 2019. I thought I might expand the flock in 2020...

    Welsummer chicks pullets or cockerels?

    About 4 weeks ago I went to a hatchery and purchased a few chicks as friends for the only chick that hatched from the incubator. I wanted 3 Welsummer chicks 1 boy 2 girls. I noticed a week later, that one of the chicks I thought was a Welsummer looked different to the other two. I felt sure...

    Can you help me figure out the breeds of these three chicks?

    Can you help me identify the breeds of these 6-week old chicks? I ordered five mystery female chicks from the hatchery with my gold laced Wyandottes and Marans. One is almost definitely an Andalusian, another seems likely to be a silver laced Wyandotte (and maybe a cockerel), but the other three...

    Welsummer week 1 through week 7

    Hello all! I thought I’d post pictures of my welsummer chick’s growth every week through week 7 to potentially help anyone trying to sex their welly. At first I was positive she was a pullet, but as you can see in the pictures she became a he. He still has the eye liner at 7 weeks despite being...

    Welusmmer, EE, or other?

    Short story long, the bins at the farm store were mislabeled and we definitely did not get the pullet we thought we were getting. Can you help us identify? Shes about 8 weeks old.

    Welsummer or something else?

    We are proud new owners of 20 chicks now 4 weeks old. We have four Welsummers in our flock although I have my doubts on whether our Audrey is in fact a Welsummer or something else. She has a speckled head and lighter in color when compared to her sisters. At first I thought she was in fact a...

    Barnevelder or Welsummer...?

    So I picked up this little cutie (Leia) yesterday. Have been told by the seller she’s a single laced barnevelder but I’m more inclined to think she may be a welsummer or welsummer x barnevelder. Any ideas? I’ve never had either breed before so not sure what to look for.

    Any pics of Olive Egger cross of Welsummer Easter Egger

    Hello I am considering some Olive Egger Chicks that are a cross of welsummer easter egger. I know the eggs can vary, but I am actually interested in if anyone has this cross and would like to share pictures of their hens?

    Who's the mom?

    I just had several chicks hatch. Father is a purebred Welsummer. Potential mothers include golden campine, silver campine, and silver leghorn. The chick on the right in the first pic was mothered by a RIR, but the black one and the chick in the second pic could be from any of the hens listed...

    Wellsummer walking funny, not laying

    My 1 1/2 yo Wellsummer hasn’t been laying for around a week, and yesterday when I let the chickens out I noticed she was waddling funny. I checked and she’s not egg-bound but that whole area looks red and inflamed. Any ideas?

    What chick is this?

    I thought he would have larger, nicer looking birds and be able to work with them more if he could be with them starting this year. Then I learned you could hatch fertilized eggs. I figured my daughter, 3, would also like So I bought an incubator and then a dozen eggs. We bought Welsummer as...
