Delaware Pullets?

[StoneHedgeFarms]

We recently bought some new pullets from a guy that said they were light brahmas from the hatchery. Well, the hatchery was wrong because they don't have feathers on their feet (Oops!). We think we have narrowed it down to Delawares or Columbian Wyandottes. How can I attached pics so that we can get it figured out?

I think you should be able to tell by the comb without even posting a picture... Unless it's a different breed than the two you think.

Columbian Wyandottes have rose combs, they're very flat and they have black on the neck and tail. Delawares have single combs, a sawtooth appearance, and have light grayish barring on their neck and back.

If they have the black neck/back but it isn't light or barred, they are Columbian Rocks. If such is so but their legs are whiteish pink, not yellow, they're Light Sussex.

Legs are yellow, and the combs are very small. I don't think I understand the difference between rose or single combs. The coloring on the neck is barred. The program keeps saying that I do not have permission to post a pic. What can I do?

Well I just described the difference of rose vs single - Rose combs are flat and slightly broad, single combs are like a sawtooth edge. If they're just tiny little babies, gently part the fluff between the eyes and if you don't really see anything, it's a rose comb. If you see little poky bits, its a single comb.

I took another good look and did a LOT of research on combs to be able to tell the difference. I believe that we do have Delawares. They are only 4 mo, but the combs look like single combs and my pics look a lot like the pics on the Delaware Clubs' website. I still would like to post a pic to make sure. Can anyone tell me how I get permission to do so?

You need to have at least 10 posts pictures. They sound like Dellies to me, the way you described their markings at barred.

I changed my avatar to the pic I was trying to share. Any comments??

Yes, you have Delawares.
