Delaware vs White Rock for mixed flock.

[thecatumbrella]

Any thoughts from current or previous owners?

They'll be in a mixed flock of 8. No two birds will look alike, and a white chicken will help round out that roster. I'll have dual 200 sqft pens with a chunnel connector, no free-range option. We prefer a chicken that gets along well with others, lays consistently through the year, and isn't overly broody.

So far, the rest of the lineup includes a Speckled Sussex, 3 different colors of Orpington, Barnevelder, Welsummer, and Black Australorp. This might change once the farm store releases their chick forms, where I'd likely sub in a Bielefelder for the Welsummer.

Any rooster?

Any rooster?

If there is, he won't be intentional. But I'd give him a shot for peacekeeping.

EDIT: Should add I feel like my chances of getting one rooster are close to 100%!

Barred female with solid male will make sexlinked offspring, that's why I was asking
