OTHER: Welsummers are well known for their calm, friendly temperament. They are typically docile and easy to handle, making them a great choice for families with children or those new to raising chickens. Their pleasant nature makes interaction easy and chicken keeping more enjoyable overall.
This Welsummer line is bred intended to be sex-linked by chick coloration at hatch; however, visual differences are more subtle than with our other sex-able breeds. Due to this, sexing will be done to the best of our ability, but gender is not guaranteed
Cockerel (males) available at $7/ea
