Delaware Trio @ 20 Weeks Old

[scgamecock]

That's some mighty pretty Delaware's you have Cyn.They will be so much bigger than my 2 hatchery girls.I hope they lay the jumbo egg's they are known for.I love mine but they lay medium to large eggs and not even close to jumbo's.

I'll let you know when they do start, Marlon. Hopefully, it will be soon.

Oh what gorgeous birds!!!

how do you aquire the delawares that lay jumbo eggs, not just medium to large eggs? What is the difference other than that? Can it be seen in their appearance?

The only place I know of that bills their Delawares as layers of "jumbo" eggs is Sand Hill Preservation Ctr.

OHHH they are so pretty. Are they the ones you will be hatching from this spring? I can barely wait. I know I want 6 at least. Jean

Yes, Jean, these are the ones. Janet, the eggs I hatched the first bunch from awhile back were very large eggs. Whatever size they turn out to be, I like the shade of brown that Dels lay.
