My nearly 16 week old Del Hanging out with my Buff orps and a barred holland and a couple of pita pintas. I love that little group they are all so friendly and easy to manage

Oo the chick on the shoulder is too cute!!!

Here's my Del, about 20-something weeks. I feel she doesn't have as much dark coloring as she's supposed to.

It might change some after first molt.

Everything right now is molting so no pictures for me. Yucky, pitiful little things. Maybe later. I finally upgraded with a new computer and windows 10 and a new browser Yippee! I finally, hopefully can post some pictures later on. I do not seem to have very many Dels. that will be worthy. The hens look better than the males. The one male who was a wide load jumped from a high roost and broke his leg. I have never had that happen before. I have been feeding flock raiser and that makes me think twice. I have given them some oyster shells now and will give some yogurt too. I hope it helps. The eggs I am getting are awfully thin. Maybe I need to switch back to the layena. I never had problems with it.

Good on the upgrade. We always need pics
I feed Rock n rooster from SS and it doesn't have extra calcium added- free serve oyster shells on the side.
No problem with weak shell other than maybe one a month.
Molt here bad we down to two eggs with 16 hens.

Worst molt ever here this yr. My eggs are down to one or two also with 12 hens that are old enough to lay. I have 4 young hens that should lay soon. If not I will start using the light that comes on at 5 am like I did last yr. Has anyone ever had Javas? The one I got the eggs from assured me that they were big hens but they sure are looking like Bantams at 1 month.
