Barnevelder or Welsummer...?

[ChickenMaddy]

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.

Looks Barnevelder to me but I’m no expert!

I vote Barnevelder...I have Welsummers and they have a lot of red feathers on neck area.

 

[homeschoolin momma]

I would say a barnevelder or barnevelder mix. Welsummers are a different shade (especially around the neck) and usually don't have lacing on the body.

Neither. She looks mixed to me. May have Barnevlder in her.

Could be a Barnevelder mix.

Not sure about breed but very pretty!

I'm also thinking maybe a Barnevelder mix. She's very pretty!

Not a barnevelder x welsummer, though. That cross would have yellow legs.

She's a mix of something... but not a pure Barnie or a Wellie. They both have yellow legs, which I believe is a dominate gene.
