Show off your Delawares! *PIC HEAVY*

This is my del Ryuk. She is a little boss. At a day old she was trying to pick fights with the 2 week olds. Now she constantly goes after bugs. She is the loudest of our group and always has something to say about everything. But we love her and wouldn't trade her.

Actually she is more towards the middle in rank. Our barred rock and buff Orpington are the honchos.

Anyone have any for sale? I'd rather not get them from a hatchery. But I'll do what I need to do. These birds are gorgeous! And definitely what I'm looking for!
Located in indiana

We got our Delaware from Meyer hatchery in ohio. Haven't had but one instant of pasty butt out of 9 chicks. There variety is awesome too. Their Easter egrets are really sweet.

This is our only Del out of 55 chicks. She is now 4 weeks.

Almost looks like a white Rock - But picture is small and hard to see.

Yes she does. The black in her isn't showing as much as we thought it would.

Here are a couple of my dels, I only have 6 and 3 are RIR but I love the Delawares.
I think they may start laying before the RIR do.

I would like to replace my RIR rooster just lost him a little bit ago .
Anyone in southwest Pa know where I can find one?
Also lost a del hen ld like to replace them both, any suggestions I'd like to maybe have some white eggs to go with the brown eggs.
