Have anyone breed pea comb delaware?

[speedy2020]

Hi,
I purchased some eggs from the lady who have Delaware, Dark Cornish, and Buckeye. So far 2 of the chicks look like the Delaware with pea comb. I just wondering if anyone breed this line. They are growing faster than Buff Orpington that hatched and raise at the same time.

There are no Pea Comb Delaware chickens. They are a Single Comb Breed.
I would say that what they are is crosses of either the Buckeye or the Cornish.

I agree that it's a cross. I've made several Delaware crosses with Delaware rooster over EE and/or Ameraucana hens that I call "Delaweggers". They look generally like a Delaware with a pea comb, sometimes beards and muffs and sometimes not, but there are no pea combed Delawares. Here is one below:
