Where does the barring come from in your Delaware x Red Leghorn? The Delaware?
I got the breeding wrong on that. The lady I got him from said it was a Dutch brown leghorn but I don't think the barring would come from that either. I never gave it a thought till you brought it up. Hummmm.... anybody got a guess.
You peaked my interest so I looked up Delawares. They carry barring allele.
My primary hawk repellents for free-ranging front porch flock during production season. Dog also protects free-ranging dominques in pasture.
Rooster (Eduardo) that does bulk hawk repelling. He will meet hawk halfway. He defends juveniles after weaned by hen. He squawks and growls.
Hen defends chicks until they are weaned. Her squawks bring in rooster.
Big gun when it comes to battling hawks. Scoob will chase Coopers and Red-tails when chickens start squawking. I think he would kill even red-tail if it held its ground too long over a chicken carcass.
