I got a phone call today from Biomistake. He said he went and picked up 27 little fuzzballs(Dellies) yesterday. So we're in the dellie bussiness now. I'm sure he'll be posting pics. soon.

Speckledy, they sure look spectacular. I can't wait to see mine and bio's new babies.

Ok finally here we go to get Catdaddy a quick fix here are pics of the little ones. And no they didnt like me turning off the light to take pics... I was yelled at something fierce and ignored them till starter/grower began to bounce off my face....

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my head to keep but if I die as a table bird may I be juicy tender flavor sweet.

Its the eyeballs man they just keep staring and staring and staring so deep into your soul telling you to never harm them ever.

 

[speckledhen]

Hahaha, love them! They do get into your soul, these little critters.

Now I have my chic fix for the day. All the babies are precious.
Speckled Hen, I love the way yours are cuddling up to the turtle, they are all tuckered out from hatching. You are such a good Mama.
Mahonri, your Del Hen looks like royalty standing there, very lovely.
And Catdaddyfro, I'm glad you could become part of the Del family, your chicks are adorable.

Just a heads up, if the weather channel says high winds are coming your way. Listen. Last night we had 46 mph winds. It took my Dog kennel and bent it like tinfoil. I was using it to hold some culls, and had to go round them all up in that nasty stuff.
So secure everything down (really) if it does come your way.

Yay! More Dellie people! More chic pics!!!

Mahonri, I still have not got the conformation thing down, but that pretty, pretty bird looks good to me- but you need someone who has seen more of them in person than I have. . . . .I am still learning!

I have a wing question - the SOP picture shows the wing farther forward on the body than in other breeds, which it does look like Mahonri's bird has- is this correct? AND she looks nice and broad in the front. . . .???? Am I getting this or do I need to go back to the drawing board?
