Show off your Delawares! *PIC HEAVY*

These were 150% worth the drive. These guys are awesome!!!! They are crazy friendly and for the most part well behaved. They come when I call them and love attention. They also don't mind being picked up and held.

The drive was also an experiment to see the difference in shipped eggs vs hand delivered. Of the 24 eggs from ebay, we had a 33% hatch rate. Of the eggs we drove to GA for, we had I think an 85% hatch rate.

Love that chunky boy on the left in the next to the last picture, Kathy. I think you'll have some great choices! They look good!

I'm leaving at 5AM tomorrow, to go to Iowa, for our family Xmas parties. I am worried about going through Dellie withdrawal. So, you are saying, I can just leave the phone with them and check in occassionally! YAY! I'll plan on that then!

Hilarious. I have someone watch them when were gone, and they hold the phone over them, and I can hear their individual clucks, its awesome.
