    Quote: Thanks Cynthia you are always such a big help.I'm going to keep them both until it becomes a issue so it will hopefully be more than three or four weeks so that will give me plenty of time to see how the smaller boy fills out.The smaller one does carry himself better I do agree there.My...

    Quote: Thanks for sharing them with me.I think my preference with the girls is getting in the way of the standard as most of my girls have light coloring around the neck.I think I might should have kept a couple of the girls I gave to my friend that had more coloring.

    Laney I have to many breeds now but if I added another one it would be Java's.I love the old breeds.Those molted java's are so pretty.Almost like a black speckled sussex.

    Just come to Georgia.Well not North Georgia in the mountains.The saying here is if you don't like the weather wait till tomorrow and it will change.It goes from 20 to 65 in 1 day sometimes here.

    I know this has been talked about somewhere in this long thread but I want to ask instead of digging through.At what age have most of your delawares started laying? I have some 12 weeks and I believe 15 weeks.I am thinking by the end of March I should have eggs from my older bunch.
