That's curious. One of the reasons I was thinking of going to Delaware is that they are supposedly more heat tolerant than most other true dual purpose breeds. From my research the Naked Necks are the best but OMG I wouldn't be able to stand looking at them.

If I throw treats to him, he offers them back to me.
Yesterday, he offered me the best spot he could find for me to lay an egg for him LOL.
Well how can you resist? Lay that gentleman an egg!
My Orp roo tries to court me a bit, but not like your Del does...
Thank you catdaddy! Now I'm puzzling over how one tells from the side view whether a bird has a pinched tail or not, but maybe I'm misunderstanding you. I assume you mean like an upside down V from the back.
Yes, the birds in question are industrial/hatchery as are all Cornish X so yeah, no...

Not to derail the conversation, but what, exactly, does a "pinched" tail mean? I've heard this around here and on the Delaware site and studied pictures but I just don't seem to be able to "get" what that means.
Also, the green feet is something I just saw in one of my cornish crosses...
