Delawares are my most favorite chicks. They're full of personality and spunk even at that age and their color is just perfect, classic chick down.
I love them. That picture is sooo cute!

That is called Dellie mind control all of us on the board have it...you're beginning to learn about it. Welcome to the world of Delaware lovers....I was clueless earlier this year no matter I am way under their control and loving every minute of it. They are endangered hopefully not forever we are trying to breed them to the SOP not an easy task. Your pullet looks beautiful wait until you get those beautiful big brown eggs they are wonderful layers and mine are noisy just being proud of what they made....they love to be with people and love shoelaces and treats are expected regularly.

Hey Aubrey! Welcome to the Dellie thread! What a cute little lady you have there. She almost looks like she's trying to teach those pink Flamingo's a thing or two about the proper way to scratch around the yard!

Be careful my dear. You are rapidly succumbing to the Delaware Mind Control. You'll hear a lot about that as you hang about with this lot!

There are those who have already fallen victim to the mind control, [most of the people in this thread for example] and those who have managed to cling to the fringes, knowing it is just a matter of time before they too are hopelessly lost to the influence of the DMC! [such as myself for instance]

If you have any hope of retaining your sanity and keeping yourself free of the influence of Delaware's, you must send me that pullet immediately! I say this only for your own good. I'd hate to see yet another perfectly good chicken owner fall victim their insidious ways!

And they are such evil little slave masters! Always attacking their servants shoe laces, demanding treats, knocking over small dogs and children to get at the treats, demanding attention from their slaves day and night, night and day! So, to avoid all of that anguish, just send me that pullet NOW! No need to thank me! It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it!

Hey Kathy! 2+ hours later......how is them little cuties doing now? How many eggs yet to go? Peektuuurreees!!! PLEASE?!?!

Aubrey- Dellie mind control is a subtle and insidious thing. Your sweet pullet is evidently a master! Where did you get your girl? They are a very special breed, and I most certainly love mine to pieces!
