A welbar, that isn't a welbar…?!

Recommended Posts

Morning lovely chooky peeps :D

 

I am in need of your collective birdy wisdom.. I recently bought a trio of gorgeous birds (two hens in lay and their unrelated cockerel). The chap said they were welbars but I have my doubts.. notably because the girls apparently lay a blue/green egg and have what I think is a pea comb rather than a single one! I got them because I fell in love with them not because of what breed they are so it doesn't bother me either way but I am really curious as to what they could be!

 

I did wonder if the girls are a welbar/legbar cross? Will post pics later :) x

a welbar is a Welsummer Barred Plymouth Rock cross the later is were the bar comes from and is the cockerel

if it yours lays blue/green eggs them someone's used the wrong cross or is trying to get olive coloured eggs
