Personality? Well, ya know that Delawares were created from a Barred Rock x New Hampshire cross, and Dels must be the world's friendliest chickens.

These birds are very friendly. They will eat our of your hand.

I checked the SOP for weights:
cock: 8.5 pounds
cockerel: 7.5 pounds
hen: 6.5 pounds
pullet: 5.5 pounds

I weighed mine. They are last spring's hatch, so not a year old.
cockerels: 8.1 lbs, and 7.9 lbs
pullets: 6.2 lbs, 6.4 lbs, 6.6 lbs, 6.8 lbs
