You're more than welcome. They are very pretty. I heard they are real nice to own too.

Yes they are , they are so tame I have to push them out of the way to feed them. The Delaware is a very nice breed of poultry to have.

Pretty birds but too much barring pattern going on their bodies. It is rather excessive, dont you think?

They at least should have mostly white bodies with some barring on neck and tail feathers. They dont look like the breeder Dels I've seen in shows and some of the BYCers in here.

It is to early to worry about to much barring and as speckledhen said it is better to have to much than to little at there age 9 weeks old.

You say they dont look like breeder Delawares you have seen in shows. The Delawares you seen in shows was a little older than 9 weeks old, dont you think?

In my limited experience a lot of the color on the backs goes away with age.
 
Ditto, smuttiness like that at nine weeks doesn't translate to adult feather, though it gives some indication of which might have better hackle and tail feathers in the end.
 
They look lovely and healthy and happy.

I still need to find my camera to show you mine, which are 2 wks behind yours.

You can see how they eat all the clover first! Mine did too.
