darbo 4,774 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 this is only a guess but i would say it has some welsummer in it. i bred some welsummer cross warrens last year your hen has a similar shape,tail, and markings to my crosses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darbo 4,774 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 it would be intresting to know what colour the eggs she lays are. my welsummers lay large terracotta coloured eggs and the welsummer crosses eggs are nearly the same colour just a shade lighter in general. the crosses however are much better layers than the welsummers.
