Oh Oh I know ... he is ... PRETTY!!!

He looks like a welsummer to me but i'm not that great at identifying things

I also found this which looks very similar

Mmmmm!! ..... dont think he is a Welsummer....or if he is, he is not true to type. Welsummers should have yellow legs, it looks as if he has slate grey ones...he has a white lobe in front of his ear too- not seen on Welsummers....also his back feathers look longer than my Welsummers, could he be a Rhode Island Red??? He looks as if he is a bantom size, is he quite small. Anyway he is handsome....and dont he know it!!!!

It's amazing how similar the Marsh Daisy is to the welsummer - are they related?

Cubalayas too
