The, April hatched, Gold Duckwing Welsummer are now 17 weeks old. The cockerel is developing well and is bigger than the Partridge Welsummer cockerels of the same age. They are constantly on the go foraging for bugs. I am expecting the pullets to come into lay around 24 weeks of age. Their eggs will be the typical colouring for Welsummers, terracotta, plain through to speckled. The cockerel has yet to crow and develop his fine feathering fully but should mature at a similar age to the pullets.
Sorry this trio is no longer available - but please contact me if you are interested in either young birds or hatching eggs, as I do sometimes have a few for sale. Dated: 10 Jan. 2011

Not a very good photo but shows the trio:
Gorgeous. I love those long-legged game hens and roosters.
ReplyDeleteDo you still have the trio for sale? If not do you have others you would want to sale. I am actually looking at getting some Golden Duckwing Welsummers.
ReplyDeleteAlso, do you ship international.
Hi Kelly I am so sorry about the long delay in replying. I'm afraid these birds are no longer available. In a few weeks time I am hoping to set a clutch of eggs to test for fertility. Eggs, chicks and young birds should become availbale in the following months.
ReplyDeleteFor the time being I am unable to ship internationally.
