Della Reese is a good mom. She had been dying to sit on a clutch for months and I couldn't take it anymore. They're even cuter when they're homegrown!

great pic its the best , i to had a very willing a young del broody, but sadly i could not give in , since we had a scorching spring that was dangerous to say the least here in AZ, so i had the cooler on since spring for my laying hens & broodies alike , but also i feared for my broodies since others broodies here in AZ just ended up dead on the nest , so i would love to see my del hen have her much desired family ,but we shall see what happens next spring fingers crossed it wont be like this year.! o by the way thats her golf ball..HA , but sorry my camera is always on the wrong date. .!

Any Delawares in Arizona? Not Hatchery stock, but the real deal? Not bashing the hatchery folks, just curious as to what is out there. --BB

I think there are some Delaware breeders out here, but they may not subscribe to this thread. I'm in no hurry, but probably wait a few more weeks so see who may chime in. Not interested in show quality, just want a simple, peaceful backyard flock while enjoying my long deserved retirement. --BB

I wanna find some babies that will grow up with me, avoiding the pullets who are accustomed to others. It's like birthing your own babies and rearing them. I don't know if any of the local breeders sex their chicks, but I can't have any roosters within city limits.

I definitely want some Delawares in my flock though because of their nature and personality. ISA Browns and some other Heritage breed are on the list. --BB

Just stomping on in here to say my Ideal hatchery Delaware is not just a cute adolescent, she is my resident photobomber! I can hardly get pics of anyone else without her sweet inquisitive face popping up in the frame. Lovely personality.

Y'all have some pretty birds! Carry on please.
