Welsummer is a chicken breed originally from the small village of Welsum, in the eastern Netherlands.  It is a light, friendly, and intelligent breed, with rustic-red and orange color. Its large eggs range in color from the red hues of terra cotta to dark-brown and sometimes spotty. The Welsummer hens usually have gold feathers on their necks, as the cocks have a rusty-red on their necks. Most people would recognize the "Kellogg" rooster as a Welsummer.  The Welsummer rooster averages 7 pounds while the hen averages 6 pounds.  They are friendly, easily handled birds which love to free range and forage for food but can also be kept in runs quite happily.   Pros: Friendly layer of large, dark eggs Does well in colder climates Egg color does not diminish like the Marans egg color.   Cons: Can go broody occasionally after her first year Temperamental layers.    Eggs are wrapped individually and shipped 'fat end up' to help keep the air cell stable during transit.  Eggs are shipped Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and will be processed in the order they were received.    Specific ship date requests should be placed in your order notes and will be honored as the hens allow.  If there is a day that you DO NOT want your eggs shipped, please include that information in the order notes as well. We request all hatching eggs be picked up at your local post office to reduce shipping trauma.  PLEASE supply a phone number if you want your eggs addressed in this manner.  All eggs are shipped USPS Priority Mail and typically arrive 2 to 3 days after shipping.  Please understand that even though we might address a box "HOLD AT POST OFFICE", it might still be delivered to your door.  This is out of our control. We ship the freshest eggs possible and package in a manner that will limit the chance of breakage or damage.  We do not guarantee hatch rates due to factors that are out of our control such as rough handling, incubator error, etc.
