Delaware cockerels

Hopefully, seriousbill will pop in on this one. I'm not 100% sure your pullet is a pullet. She has tail barring and not tail black. I did have one cockerel who looked like that. He was very small, too, but was very much a boy. The stippling down the back will change alota as they molt. I could post pics of my breeder Dels when they were that age, but they are not on this new little laptop.

speckled hen, her comb isnt as red as it looks in the picture. Its actually the same color as her beak. Shes very sweet, but Im worried she may have an impaced crop. She doesnt act funny or anything but has a big hard round crop. Ive been giving her Olive Oil and bread. We shall see. Anyways if you could post pics when you get to your other laptop, that would be awesome!!

Here is my stunted cockerel at about 8 weeks; he had a hard time with cocci and didnt grow as fast.

Here are the other boys:

The girls:

Jake as a youngster then about 23 weeks old so you can see how the "smut" clears out later on. We chose not to keep him as a breeder due to his comb fault. Then he got grumpy and made it easier to let him go.
