Delaware mixes

[michele1978]

the guy who gave these to me told me they were Delaware mixes. I believe one is about a week older then the other. It's slightly bigger. Anyway does anyone know what they could be mixed with. The one doesn't really have any tail feathers that stick out.

It's hard to say without a lists of possibilities, though the rumpless one could have some Araucana in her. They could be Delaware mixes, but whatever else they're mixed with is blocking most Delaware features.

I can see a bit of black feathering in the tail of the top bird which could be from Delaware stock, but given those white legs (as opposed to the yellow legs of a Delaware), I'm thinking that whatever columbian color pattern either of their parents had is more likely of Light Sussex origin than Delaware.

They both have the lightest gray coming in around there neck feathers at the tips also. And when they stretch there wings there is some dark gray in there also.

I was just curious on everyone's thoughts. Truely doesn't matter wht they are as long as I can get eggs from them. There cute anyway!
