cluckingmad Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Morning lovely chooky peeps 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I thought a Welbar was a Welsummer Legbar cross? I'd love one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just googled it. There's loads of info and pictures. I'd like one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckingmad Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 They are indeed a welsumer leg bar cross Very pretty birdies I have to say, but on the breed listing they're supposed to lay brown eggs and have a single comb, unlike my little girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
