I have a chick with slw mom and delaware dad... He is just starting to feather out. No comb yet, looks pretty much like all the other pure delaware chicks... Any guesses on what he's going to end up looking like?

He's the one on the bottom in this photo.
It's not too obvious, but his patterning looks like the chick on the top.

It looks like he's got a little rose comb (from his Wyandotte mother). Delawares have single combs. So he will always look a little different than a pure Delaware.

For the rest of his appearance, it's pretty obvious he'll have some black and lots of white, but I don't know any more than that.
