Colombian Rocks vs Delewares

[Cats Critters]

One of the 3 little roos in question. They where labeled as Ameraucanas at TSC which we all knew was wrong, but I gambled and bought 3 straight run babies. And got 3 roos.

But I was labeling them as Delewares and when I showed a picture to my grandfather (who used to raise show birds) he suggested Colombian Rocks. So any ideas? We could of course both be wrong. It really doesn't matter beyond my curiosity as I'm keeping a mixed flock, but I'm curious.

Delawares. Delawares carry barring, which shows in the pebbled look of his hackle feathers. Columbian rocks look very similar (pattern-wise, at least—they're both Silver Columbians) but they should have solid black neck and tail feathers.

You have a Delaware cockerel.

Thanks guys! That's what I was thinking but was second guessing myself.

He is such a handsome Delaware rooster. Agreeing with a previous comment, the barring is what sets a visible difference.
Very nice looking Guinea hen, too!
