Show off your Delawares! *PIC HEAVY*

[herechickchick]

Well I got my 2nd Bantam Delaware baby yesterday and this one was the right color. YEAH!!!! My little black Delaware mixed baby has a cute little beard and muff like his daddy. I need to get photos.

Does it seem really tiny compared to a standard chick? I bet the little accidental crossbreed will be so cute!

 

[herechickchick]

He, and I say he because I know it is a little rooster, is the same size as all of my other Bantam chicks, so tiny and cute! I noticed the little beard and muff this morning and he was just a cheeping away when I came in the the brooder room. I was also greeted by me LF Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas that escaped their brooder and were running around like little maniacs, so cute!

 

[speckledhen]

Hahaha, how cute! Escapees! I have one Ameraucana egg in my bator that is a Wheaten Male over Wheaten or Blue Wheaten hen that Kathy sent along with the BBS Rocks. I really hope that one hatches!

I am in LOVE with these guys. I am getting more eggs from Jean. The chicks are very sweet, at first they would fly right up on to my arm. Now we are in what I call the "Godzilla" stage but we will get thru it. I have quite a few more Delaware eggs to go over the next few weeks so I am excited to see if there are anymore rogue black chicks.

Good luck with your hatch, I can't wait to see the BBS Rocks.

Herechickchick, I bet your chick is adorable!

I am firing up my camera and am going to take pics of the young adults--I am confused on their hackles. I don't know if I am seeing columbian in there or if they are just nice and dark.

I have been trying to ignore the Delawares because it is driving me crazy trying to figure out who goes and who stays. So if I don't look at them then no one goes.

But it is time to start moving a few out.

I have 18 Delaware eggs boxed up and ready to ship.

I was supposed to send them to a lady in West Virginia, but they are snowed in. I contacted the Post Office, and they said there were delays. Of course, I didn't think to check until AFTER I had bubble wrapped all the eggs and packed them in the box.

I really don't want to unwrap them all.

Anyone interested in them? It's $12 plus shipping.

Here's the daddy.

And here is one of the mommies.

They are nice and fresh, less than a week old. They should go out today or tomorrow if possible.

 

[speckledhen]

Well, that's a good buy for someone!

 

[TACEYPERKINS]

OOOOH Camille are those from your Bill Braden line? If so I will take them. I hope they are.

 

[HighSpringsChix]

No, these are from the Seriousbill line. The Braden line hasn't started laying yet. They are just 16 weeks old, so I expect them to start sometime in the next month or so.
