Welcome to my Utility Welsummers website. It focuses on the breeding of Welsummer strains that lay the characteristic dark brown egg.

The Welsummer is a Dutch poultry breed, famous for its red partridge colouring and its dark brown egg.

With this website I am trying to promote the keeping and breeding of Welsummers that are productive layers of top quality eggs, so that we will not lose these qualities in the future.

You will not find here the basics of general rearing and care of poultry.
