CW had a different comb i think you call it rose or something like it, and i think a delware has barring and a columbian does not

Delawares - http://www.cacklehatchery.com/delaware.html
Columbian Wyandottes - http://www.cacklehatchery.com/columbian.htm

Wyandottes have rose combs, Delawares have single combs. Delawares have barred hackle (neck) feathers, whereas Columbians have black-edged-in-white hackle feathers.

thanks so much i just found 12 delaware hens at 5mo old for 70 the fella said he wasnt sure what they were. i informed he what they were and he stuck to the price instead of raising it. delawares are very hard to find around here.
