Is this a real bird? What kind does it look like to you?

Actually that particular bird in that picture is NOT a real bird but the breed is real. I have a flock of them and the University of Delaware has a breeding flock!


I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have!

Do the real ones look like the one in the pic? If so, I want some!!!

Not really. Go look at the thread link I posted above, Bec's rooster is the first pic. He's gorgeous!

Actually, I just realized- Bec's avatar is her Delaware Blue Hen rooster, Ceasar!
