Delaware

[CoopdeVillage]

Hi, my Delaware was sold to me as an 8-week old pullet. This would make her 16 weeks old now. Shes so much larger than the other pullets, even the buff Orpington of the same age. I've also seen her mount some of the other pullets. I'm wondering if she is a he??

That looks like a cockerel/rooster.

Definitely, 100% a cockerel. Looks like a light Sussex and Delaware cross with those white legs. If you can't keep him, there are forums in here for re-homing, and you can ask at your local feed store if they know of anyone who might want him. I'd use Craigslist as a last resort.

I don't think it's a Delaware, the leg color is wrong. Looks male, but if it was a male Delaware the tail feathers would be barred.

) I've been questioning the breed as well. What you said makes sense. Thank you.
