Somewhat ironically dear "without-errors" you did make some mistakes in your otherwise very informative post.

How old?

I need to fly home and build a perch!

Mine are now 1 week and are growing like mad. I am sure they would love some exercise also

 

[HorizonSon]

They were hopping up on the bottom ones by week one... These will be three weeks old come Sunday/Monday. They hatched November 1st(ish); or atleast, that's when they were shipped as "day olds".

Great idea! Hope there is no copyright on the perch design

(I'll build it anyway)

 

[HorizonSon]

Nah; I slapped it together with scrap wood and nails, making use of our tablesaw and hammer. Same with the lil dusting box. Normally I build things a wee bit nicer and with screws; but, eeh, these are ment as temporary (original intent; only time will tell). LOL

Well, I hate to disappoint y'all but I'm going for production myself. Delawares just happen to be (hopefully) the dual-purpose breed I need - and I couldn't really care less if the roo has six points or five on his comb.

Still best to go with breeder for dual purpose. The birds they use to cross sometimes may take away from a true Delaware size. Oh and, not a dissappointment
