My Dellies are 18 days old, and I can't believe how fast they're growing. I ordered 25, they sent 26, and everyone is doing great. A bunch of the chicks are obviously males, based on pink combs and wattle development, but I haven't been able to make a count yet of how many cockerels I have. We just weighed a few of them and so far the males are up to 7 oz. I'll be keeping track of growth rates, as these birds are a meat and eggs group, and all the extra males will be butchered.

So far I am thrilled with these Sandhill babies. Thanks Sandhill Preservation!
