abwsco Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 They're lovely, shame you have to give them up Are the siblings Copper Maran x Welsummer too? I know although I'm going to cover up the Go tonight and see if that helps with the noise. The siblings should be Wels but I've only ever seen 1 picture of a Wels that looks like them. My friend who gave me the eggs has had some that have the colouring of Wels you always see and some that look like mine. So we're confused. This was when they hatched I must try and get a better picture of them as their markings are pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 They look like wels x maran. Defiantly not pure Welsummer... Lovely though, do you have any more pics of the girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 This is one of them but it's from a bit ago. I'm going to try and get some more this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 They look more like a CBM than a Welsummer, but defiantly a cross. Very pretty though and should lay lovely chocolate eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silkie Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 You got some beauties there abwsco. How are the two cocks behaving with each other though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Sunday and Dinner are lovely looking boys. Hope you can rehome them rather than eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Sadly, the boys are being despatched on Thursday as we haven't been able to find them a home As neither DH or I have ever done the "deed" before a friend is doing it so that we know it will be done as quickly as possible.

Griffin Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Sorry to hear that. It's so incredibly hard to find a home for boys, I've only ever managed to get homes for two. I've now made the decision to cull any boys not destined for the table as soon as I know they're boys because it's so much harder once they're older, with lovely personalities, I can't put myself and the kids through that anymore.

Barkisland Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 What a shame. They are such handsome boys. The reason I don't hatch is because I know there would be boys to get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 My friend has now got CLB cockerels to put with her CLB's so any hatched would be auto sexing. Mind you I think culling chicks would be worse. Think we'll get a broody cage just in case. Fiona, is Mary still broody 99% of the time?

madchickenlady Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 This is the reason I haven't hatched yet. Every so often I come so close to buying an inccy, and then I remember where i live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
