Delawares- post your pics

[MommaHen]

I've been debating this last year whether or not to get some, is there anyone here who raises them? I'm curious how well they lay, broodiness, personality, etc. If you have some, please post your pics.

I will get some pics for you tommarow. I have 3 16 week old pullets so they are not laying or broody yet but they are a great dual purpose breed and good foragers. they temperments have been friendly the other more flighty hens kinda make mine nervouse somtimes. They have been a good choice for me I like there great foraging abilites and I will post when they start laying and also if they every go broody. good luck Henry

Are Delawares a cross between Barrred Rocks and Leghorns?

No, the Delaware is a cross between a Barred Rock and a New Hampshire.

Very pretty- where did you get yours from?

I love that rooster. Isn't his name Cornelius? He cracks me up.

Delawares are a great choice. They are pretty calm, seem to like busy kids, and come a-running when you call.

Also, mine don't seem to really go broody. They did go thru a pretty fierce molt this fall (wow). Just as it got really cold, several of the girls lost most of their feathers. But, they are pretty steady layers of nice large brown eggs.

Since I've found the pics, here's a pic of my dd with our crazy roo....
