Show off your Delawares! *PIC HEAVY*

[Hillbilly Hen]

Thanks Kathy! I am excited too but very nervous

 

[beanmcnulty]

I am thinking about buying some delaware chicks from whitmore farms. anyone know anything about them? And Kathy, I may be interested in some from your next batch.

OK here goes, I had posted some of my 2 boy's pics as 6 month-olds and they are now 10 months old. They are Whitmore stock, fyi, the girls do have pinchy tails, and didnt take any pics of them this time. The boys have great temperments, no aggressiveness so far and are really good to the girls (most of the time). Apparently have really great s*x drives too

. lol
Roo#1 (dominant one)

Rear Roo1

front roo1

top roo1 (as good as he would let me)

And here's the spare (Roo#2)

top roo2

rear roo2

No front of #2 sorry!

I like you spare roo the best- look at that underline!

 

[beanmcnulty]

He does have a great shape a lot like the sop picture, he weighs less than #1 and seems to be dominated by him. My guess is the weight has to do with being excluded from food? He gets his share of the ladies though so he does alright

I like #2 better myself. He has better overall shape and color, IMO.

Ditto here

Can you get a rear shot of the spare roo? And give him his own space? I have seen some growth rate differences out of the same hatch - sometimes some just grow up slower than others.

Wait- is the spare roo the same as roo #2- I just went back and looked, as I thought there were three rooster there. Ah, old age!!!
If so he is definitely better than the first roo, and I would take him even if he was a bit smaller.
