Welsummer Chickens 6-7 week old chicks How to tell the difference between a Roo and a Hen. A little info about the breed. Check out Granny’s Coop on Facebook: / karens-coop-1019593580...
Hi Karen, Ruth is definately not a pure Welsummer hen but looks more of an Americana cross with the muff under her beak. She also does not have the correct partridge pattern of a Welsummer hen. They should have fine 'peppered' markings on their backs and wings whereas Ruth is almost laced.
You are absolutely right. When I bought her they sold her as a welsummer, but she definitely has Easter egger mix in there. Her legs are dark also. The two in the bucket are definitely Welsummer though. Ruth is my little mix up. When I bought her she as a chick she looked exactly like the other welsummer. I have had a lot of other people say they have bought “pure” breeds and then they turn out a mix breed. I got her from Tractor supply. She lays green eggs too, not like the others. 😳 Watch my video on Ruth had her babies. I explain this a little bit. You have a good eye. 🐥
I keep checking on chicken breeds to find out what i got in my easter egger bunch lol I think this breed is mixed in It would make sense because a cross with amerauracana would be green eggers I will have to wait and see what the eggs look like to get more information i think They have a partridge color pattern the make is really red right now and no beard But they are mixed chicks so? I got copper Maran chicks with the same bunch but they are soposed to be from a different place Im haveing fun trying to find out which breeds i have in my crosses lol My other younger batch of easter eggers look more like crested legbars I have buff and blue amerauracana chicks this time no crosses I don't mind crosses i think they are interesting:) We have a couple of buff bantom bramas with the amerauracana chicks They are so much fun Our turkey hen is sitting too so lots of babies bunnies too Keeping me busy Much love xoxox
I have a cross of French Marans mixed with Samson (RIR/ black astrolorp mix) they lay blueish/green eggs. I have always wanted lavender Americanas. I’m still trying to guess the mothers of Belinda’s chicks. One is definitely a rooster, but the colors on him are beautiful now! I know Luke (a barred rock) is the father. Mixes are fun! 🐓😊
@@GrannysCoop they are I love surprises but no one can surprise me like chickens do lol The little Evelyn I hatched her daddy is barred but don't know which one The comb will give me hints shes 4-5weeks old not much of a comb yet hopefully she
i had a dozen of them non of them were friendly, skittish , good forager , intelligent, i keep a cam in the run, i saw them twice jumping toward the run door hitting it with their feet to kick it open! i have golden lace, amber link, brown sexlink, buff Orrington, and i had barred rock, non of them know how to do that.
You have to admit that is pretty smart for a bird.🤣 I really like them. Now, I have some buff Orpingtons and barred rocks and they are wonderful birds too.
