Oh, my gosh, it's been 9 days since I posted pictures of my Del babies. Wait til I get home .... I will HAVE to post some more! They are growing like crazy! Though I do have one, I call Midge, who seems to be happier as a banty! LOL

ETA: Should we start a Delaware Banty?

There are Delaware bantams, but they are very rare. Dick Horstmann breeds them and Adam (herechickchick) has one and is expecting others from him.

Oh, really? I did not know that. So, are they on the, "critical," list as well?

I don't know, good question, Kathy.

I dont know if I could handle Bantams. I like the big birds with large eggs. I cant imagine going on out there and finding a teesy egg... Lol. Makes me laugh just thinking about it. Although, I guess it would be like finding a pullet egg all the time. You know, I just thought of something. In general, if a Rhode Island Red male mates a Delaware female, it makes the Red Star, Red Sex Link, etc... You could make BANTAM Red Stars, etc... Hmm, how odd. So, since I just rambled here, I think I had better go, but...!!! There will be a surprise in a few minutes!

Nope, nevermind, no surprise. Stupid camera... grr.

Terribly sorry, I thought I could show off a couple pf Delaware babies I have. But, my cameras memory card size had other plans apparently.

This is how I get when I'm tired, I had better head out, night ya'll!

Well then, I guess I'll have to step up to the plate .... Here we go ....
My babies at 17 days old:

The third one ... that's Midge. She is a feisty little bugger! She is a, well, *petite*!

How's this for a prop? Grandma's are so sweet! Look at Midge on the right.

It was during our photo shoot that I discovered this:

So, she will be wearing these stylish shoes for a bit ... a few days otta fix that! Out of the brooder, staying at the fabulous Bounty Bed and Breakfast resort here, with a friend. Why? Because walking on paper towels is easier than pine!
