I'm so glad he turned out to be a good boy. That's supposed to be a breed trait, the friendly nature, though it really depends on where he came from sometimes. Hope you can find Del pullets for this handsome guy. I have only one remaining hen who is going on 8 years old now. I see you're in Florida. Try cpartist (Luanne) in Alachua, Florida. She has decent quality Delawares.

Thank you so much and I will have to keep a look out for some hens. I really like having him around. He had to be one of my friendliest in the flock!

So, I bought this Delaware pullet and a leghorn pullet in march to add to my existing flock of two ameraucanas and three silkies, but I noticed that my Delaware is growing very fast and is twice the size of the leghorn. Its wattles and comb turned red at an earlier age than any of my other girls. Can anyone tell me if this is a pullet or a cockerel. I'm in highschool and an FFA officer and these are my SAE an I do not know how to handle a rooster.

"She" also has barring on her tail and I thought I read something about hen have solid black tails while roosters have barring. Thanks for any help.
