felix93 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Don't count on me, but he looks like a kind of Welsummer. Beautiful cock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Hi, welcome to the forum! He is gorgous! Whats his name? Could he be a brown leghorn? http://www.sol.co.uk/k/kintaline/dcp0149.jpg Or a welsumer? http://www.quennell-lake-poultry.com/images/Welsumer-Cockerel.jpg He looks like one xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowndan Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 hi thanks for the welcome. he looks like both from those pictures?????? his name is boris. i have been given in as he was living in a house on his own as he was fighting with the other cock all the time. hes come to live with my 2 ex batts, he in there house at the moment and they have gone in to the garden shed!! i bet they think they are in the ritz!! im keeping him seperate as he was a bit nasty at the old place ( im hoping that was because he was compeuting with the other cock) and i want to try and get him a bit tamer befor i let him out with my 2 lovely girls. do you he may come nice? or once they nasty they always nasty?

CockADoodleDoo Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 hes way to small to be a wellsummer as the cocks are huge in this breed but he could be a wellsummer x leghorn mabye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I just looked at the picture again, he is too small to be a welsumer, he must be a leghorn. We have a leghorn hybrid lady, and she is very small. I wonder if he has a bit if Silkie in him, due to the colour of his comb? http://www.omlet.co.uk/breeds/breeds.php?breed_type=Chickens&breed=Silkie I know he's not fluffy, but he is small like a silkie too Love the name by the way xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowndan Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 mmm i see what you mean by the colour of his comb. i dont think hes had a great life and im wondering whan he gets to be free range and out lose in my garden like my 2 ex batts ladies weathrr his comb may chance to a proper red comb. my girls combs were nearly white when i get them and now they are bright red.
