Product Description
A breed developed in the Netherlands and named after the village of Welsum; outside Holland the breed’s name is usually misspelled as Welsummer. These chickens have a single comb, may be large or bantam in size, and originally came in a single red-and¬ black (partridge) color pattern, although other color varieties have been developed.
The partridge variety is autosexing – compared to cockerels, the pullets have darker markings on their heads and backs.
The hens are fair layers of eggs with dark-brown shells; they seldom brood and when they do are not especially good mothers.
