Found out in another post my Delaware's.. are NOT Delaware's actually one is a Meat bird!!

Hahaha I just posted a similar query!! I've got two that were sold to me as sexed Welsummer Pullets...not sure what they are now! It seems maybe this breed is just not nearly as reliably sexed as they claim....and that chicks are easily mixed up by supply stores.

How old are yours here? They have way more tail than mine did when they looked like that. Not sure what that means for either of us, though!

Also, the one in the middle of the first picture looks paler than the other two in terms of its head v and eyeliner...I was told that's a sign of a possible roo.

There suppose to be about 2 weeks now! My local feed store orders from Cackle and I've never had problems. But this place was out of town I just googled and found.. should have known better. The Meat Bird is upsetting though because of the quality of life. I do this more for the love of the birds and sharing my eggs with loved ones.. not for meat

Awwww we'll think of it this way for your meat bird, I'm sure you'll be providing it
with a far higher quality of life (however short) than it might have otherwise received.

For the sake of comparison, here were my "wellsummer pullets" around two weeks old:

And what they looked like a few days old when I brought them home:
