Yep - the gals seem to finish faster and the guys struggle with the unfinished puberty look.

One of the best US lines of Delaware is in Oregon. Look up Oregon Delawares or same at Facebook. you won't be disappointed starting with quality.

Welcome to the other side -

There is more information on that strain of Delawares at this BYC thread- most are on Facebook also. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/777172/delawares-from-kathyinmo Good luck on your search .

There are some standard drawings on this thread and some nice birds to compare to https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/777172/delawares-from-kathyinmo

Cute - it sure does have heavy waddles and comb to be a pullet. How old is it ?

Yes the hormones in the teen agers is a problem I have not been able to solve this year due to time restraints. Not the number problems you have.

Chris - I don't think white has a bearing on Hawk kills in Dels . They are fairly good size and here most Hawk prey is dark [Turkey polts etc]. All my Hawk loses have been black broilers. I have lost two Dels to I presume Owls because it was night and the chickens were not supposed to be out...

I agree - comb and tail say pullet but they some times will fool ya

She looks sharp

Bobby - its not a problem its just learning - If you just want eggs and chicken friends hatchery will fit the bill - if you want a homestead bird with a little less egg production but meat potential find a quality breeder. Good luck - Either way its a great breed.

Looks like a Peep to me

Don't I know it . Just always curious where different birds are from to compare.

Cute - what hatchery is the source for those?

They usually have a great temperament - you will most likely like it.

Nice marking on the hackles

Odds are higher they are pullets but all lines are different . Depends on the strain. Had one last year at 16 weeks tail said Cockerel and comb said pullet - finally determined pullet at about 20 weeks

looks a little pointed in tail but picture from back would tell - should be a wide T-pee look- still young however

Cute - glad they get along good

wekiva bird has them in SC
