I have 4 Delaware 15 week old hens. Not one has and color. The comb is growing but the color is yellowish. The tail and wing feathers are pure white.
When )approximately) will they get any color?

I believe I see some small coloring/coloration on the breast.

Do all your Delawares have little to no color?

I believe it varies from where you got them.
All my Delawares have barring, some more than others.
Where did you get yours?

I purchased chicks at tractor supply.
I will look closer at that hen. It may be dirt from the dust bath!
 
I have updated photos. I am now seeing some black sprouts of color on the pullets heads.
I also made an error in saying my chicks were purchased at TSC. I purchased them from a locally owned Feed Store. I actually know the hatchery name.
They still claim the are Delaware so we will wait patiently.

Those do not look like Delaware chickens at all. They’d have barring around their necks by now.
