Here are a few of my 5 week old chicks. I ordered eggs from two different sources; some were all Delaware Giants and the rest were a "barn yard mix". I'm assuming all the white ones are the Delaware Giants, but would love your input on the rest of the guys.
I think this is a roo and hen Delaware Giant with a Barred Rock hen...
I have no idea about these two - they are a dark mahogany red, smaller than the others, and the little roo is a feisty guy with a bad attitude! I have already told him he will be stew if he doesn't lighten up!
Delaware Giant roo?
A few odd balls - I posted mainly to show my little "Buttkus" - the little hen who started life with a "nasty bottom". She has recovered fine but has no tail!! She looks like a little Quail!
Maybe a Rhode Island Red on the left? The bird in the middle is beautiful; the feathers are rimmed in gold. Any ideas?
Thanks! These are my first chickens ever so I'd appreciate any input.
