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?

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.

How did I get WHITE chicks from a blue rooster and blue/black/splash/cuckoo hens? And what will happen if I breed the white back to the blue roo?
