Is my Delaware really a Delaware?

[chickiebaby]

Thank you - she looks gorgeous. This will give me something to look forward to all winter . . .

Great! Hey, Anny, sorry to intrude on your thread. Did you get the pullet as a chick or hatch it? Her age seems off from her development in the pics.

 

[Anny]

I got her as a pullet, her age could be off. Her and the speckled hen are supposed to be "about" the same age with the speckled sussex being a little older. But it could be more then a little.

How old do you think she is?

 

[speckledhen]

I'm not exactly sure of her age, but I'd say several weeks younger than you thought. She'd be close to laying by 23 weeks old, if not already laying. I'm thinking she's not much older than my girls, maybe 15 weeks if I were to throw out a number.
