Wellman Strain of New Hampshire Chickens Emerges in Southern West Virginia
The Wellman strain developed by Willis W. Wellman at Green View Hatchery near Hico WV is praised for livability, feed conversion, feathering and body shape. Reports show 70 percent egg production with broilers reaching 11 weeks and 10 to 13 pounds. WV University studies cite low mortality in tested flocks and strong hatchery capacity. The operation blends large and small production with 21 888 hatchery capacity and a 1 700 flock for hatching eggs aiming for 2 100 laying birds.
