Welsummer
The Welsummer is a beautiful breed from Holland famous for its deep reddish brown egg color. Hens are a nicely proportioned partridge pattern, with hints of gold around the neck, medium brown on the body and tail feathers tipped with a rich brown. Welsummers are good foragers meaning you'll save on feed if you allow them to range freely!
