Is there one for a Delaware?

Our of my flock, the Delawares are the largest (except for my EE Roo) and they are very friendly.The only problem I have with them is I can not tell them apart

I had to name them Thing 1 and thing 2, so they wouldnt get mad at me for calling them by the wrong name hehe
