Oh my, where on earth do you live anyways? Getting eggs ANYWHERE in North America is a very large area!! By the way, welcome to our forum from the north Okanagan of B.C., have a most awesome day, CynthiaM.

The original cross is Welsummer and Barred Rocks. They are bred in such a way that they become a bit of a hybridized cross and breed true to type. They are also sexed at day old. A lovely, pretty bird.

I have always fancied Barnbars, but that is probably because they are a Barnevelder X Barred Rock. They have a very cool feather pattern. It takes, I think, about 3 years after the first cross to have the birds breeding true to type.

Google them, I have seen some great pictures. Have a friend in Australia that developed RhodeBars.

Here is a picture I had of some Barnbars. Not sure how the Welbars differ from them.
