Thank you. He is such a sweetie, it breaks my heart to get rid of him. I called the feed store and they don't have any room. If anyone in North county San Diego is willing to adopt him please let me know.

I believe he's a mix , wrong leg coloring for a delaware, how old?

poulettes...Are you sure it is supposed to be a Delaware?

chickenextreme...Coloring is right but aren't there other breeds with that pattern that maybe have slate legs???

Lakenvelder? color wrong for that???

prob a mix\\What about a Columbian Rock? They sometimes have blackish yellow legs.

I am really not familiar with delaware, so when i got it from craigslist, they sold it as a delaware. It's probably a mix then or a poor hatchery stock.... but it still so sweet lol! What makes me thinks it's a rooster is the crest and wattles (compare to my other hens, it's crest is much more developed), however, when i look at pictures i see delaware hens have a very pronounce crest. As for the age, i dont really know either. I bought it on August 6th, so my guess is 10 to 12 weeks.

How dark are its legs? I just noticed that they are in the shade in the picture. Are they really slate colored or are they yellow or pink or white???
