welsummer

Hello BYC! Recently I was given a little bantam welsummer chick, everything seems pretty good but as soon as she falls asleep she freaks out and starts crying/flapping about, sometimes ending up upside down. But when she wakes up everything’s fine and she eats, drinks and walks around normal...

Looking for a Welsummer cockerel or rooster for my 8 welsummer hennies. Prefer npip. Im in Southwest Ohio. Must be a pure welsummer, no mixes please.

Calling all experts! I really wanted a Welsummer, but now I am confused as to what these girls could be. I'm just a beginner so I have no idea...they all are so similar!

Would like to buy 4-6 Welsummer pullets or hens. Will be using them for a breeding program. Please be willing to ship, I am located in Southern California. I will pay to offset shipping. Photo's appreciated, let me know what you have.

Celebrate the first eggs you are getting post-molt or from new chickens with me! This is from my new Welsummer, her first egg. Look at that incredible BLOOM! I am so proud of my hens. Show me your first eggs!

He just wants to dance with somebody! I keep telling him to be patient and the girls will come around (they haven't started laying yet). His glossy saddle always makes me swoon lol.

But not anymore. Today I was outside in the coop, and my hen here Got in the nest. She's from Atwood's - I know their breeds aren't 100% breeding standards, and she was in the Welsummer bin. I waited to see which of the dark brown eggs I've been getting is from here and lo and behold...

We’ve got a Welsummer whoops-a-roo who needs a home! Hatched from Murray mcmurray august 8 2022. He’s truly beautiful, but we ordered a cuckoo maran rooster with this group and this welsummer was supposed to be a layer. We’re located in SW Cumming, GA and would love to see this guy go...

Aloha from Hawaii! I am getting back into chicken keeping now that we own our place and can finally have them again. I was going to order chicks but Hawaii is strict and won’t let anything come in out of Ohio right now so our plan B is incubating eggs which I started today! We have a Nuture...

Watching chicks develop from little fluff balls into beautifully feathered birds is so interesting. I love it 😍

First time chicken owner here 👋 We got 5 assorted female rainbow layers from Meyer hatchery a month ago and I’m starting to speculate our Betty might not be a Betty 🤣 I believe she’s a welsummer! The others are 1 barred Rock, 2 Cochins, and 1 Ancona! All of the other girls crowns are barely...

Brand new to this chicken farm thing and have some 6-7 week old chicks. Hoping they are all pellets but could use some help! I’ve labeled and numbered each chicken. If you need more photos I can try and get more!!

This is a home bred cross from an Amerucana/Welsummer hen and a Welsummer rooster. I was thinking it’s a pullet but it’s starting to walk a bit too upright lately. 12 weeks old.

Acquired two Welsummer chicks from a local source, supposed to both be female. They'll have just turned six weeks and are developing quite differently, however. Specifically, one has a much more noticeably developed comb and different colorations. Being so young, they are quite hard to...

Hello all, new chicken mama Cassie here. I ordered 11 pullets from MMH that are now almost a month old, so of course I am now playing the paranoid “pullet or cockerel??” game. I thought I’d introduce the ladies and see if any of you experienced eagle-eyes notice something I hadn’t, especially if...

hi so i have a question about egg colour genetics: what happens if i cross a belgium bantam hen (of any kind) with a welsummer rooster and the other way around (and if you have any pictures of your chickens or eggs from this cross pleas post them) thanks :)
