WELSUMMER ROOSTER
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, one of the most iconic American breakfast cereals, originally developed in
1894 as a food for patients in a sanitarium, was first graced by Cornelius Rooster in the late ‘50s.
This is a Welsummer rooster, a breed developed in the Netherlands in Welsum. While the Welsummer may be a primarily European breed, Cornelius Rooster is purely American. These chickens are
good layers and produce a generally uniform terracotta brown egg with dark speckles.
