Thanks for the link. That was interesting. I did PM a guy who started a sexlinked thread a while back and he answered saying no this won't work, so I guess if I'm going to continue with my red sexlinks, I'll need to get some more Delawares or a nice Delaware cockerel down the road. I'm not sure how long these Delaware hens will be productive, they are going into their second year and I see a drop off in egg production now. I'd rather not get hatchery birds, been there, done that.
I am amazed I JUST found this thread!! I have a bunch of pics of my dell to share, but first I have one quick question... Has anyone noticed Delawares being more susceptible to Marek's disease, or is it just that we had a HORRIBLE outbreak? because when we first started out, we had NO IDEA What Marek's was, and apparently our chicks weren't vaccinated, and we put them in the same coop (Separated by chicken wire) from the adult birds. In all, we started with 25, and one by one, they all keeled over of Mareks... Except my lucky boy, Tommy... So, i have tons of pics of many delaware babies, but 1 main remaining Rooster. We are going to try pullets again this year. 
He's beautiful!Hi.
