breeds photos: The Welsummer
The Welsummer was imported into the UK from Holland in the 1920s,
at a time when dark brown coloured eggs were much in demand. Predominantly
a utility breed, the breed is hardy and thrives under free range
conditions producing good numbers of its dark brown, 'flowerpot'
coloured eggs. However, although classified as a 'Light' breed
and usually very active, their bodies are fairly large and the
birds quite docile. Most people consider the colouring very attractive
and reminiscent of a traditional 'farmyard' bird. Both large fowl
and bantam versions are standardised, and there is also an attractive
silver duckwing version.
