Show off your Delawares! *PIC HEAVY*

[joletabey]

OH! OH! OH! My DH said I could get the SOP for an early Christmas present!!! I'll share info!!! WOOHOO!

This may be a dumb question, but there are several related Del flocks -Isaac and Algernon and their ladies and babies and someone on the incubation topics that hatched Isaac babies yesterday- where will you look for new blood if you wanted to add to your flocks instead of remaining closed?

I know we have the BYC breeders pages that houndit is working on, but last I looked there are not many Del people listed. I would also love to have a list of Del breeders who are NOT on BYC, if that is a legit thing to do. I joined the Delaware club, but so far have not gotten any info on breeders or anything. I can't find much on their website, although its possible that is just due to my computer ignorance.

Thank you, I have not. I will go there now.

I tried to do a search for this Delaware club, could someone list the website?

Thanks,

Is there to be a new (revised?) version soon? Like 2010? Or is it unknown? How often are they updated?

 

[speckledhen]

Supposedly, there was one scheduled for release this year, but haven't heard any updates on it. I'm going to check the APA site and see if they say.

***Can't find any info on the new edition. Maybe someone knows if it will come out soon.

Laney, here is the Del club address

My girls are just hatchery birds, but I still love their look! I have been contemplating getting some show quality stock and delawares are one breed I would definitely be interested in.

 

[speckledhen]

They are a pretty breed, that's for sure! I see you have a Columbian Rock, too!

Here are some Delaware eggs from my flock that I'm collecting for my next hatch:

Errr, ummm, excuse me ??? Did you say your "next hatch???" But, I thought you were gonna wait til spring. LOL Ha, I knew you couldn't wait. You got that hatchin' bug again?

Beautiful breed, for sure!
Oh, about the eggs >>> those are not ordinary large eggs, Oh, no, those are X-large eggs. The ones you sent to me, well a couple are so big that I had to be sure not to place them where the thermometer sat on top of the eggs ... it wouldn't fit!
I'm actually anxious to EAT Delaware eggs!

 

[speckledhen]

Kathy, this is a custom hatch for a BYCer in Florida, not for me. I get to hatch, but don't have to brood them more than a week.

Potterwatch, yet another thing we have in common! It's like your my west coast sister!

Speckledhen, no fair teasing me with those beautiful eggs. I don't know if it makes me want to eat them or hatch them..... ok maybe half and half? No, hatch 3/4 and eat 1/4? OK hatch them all and wait for the eggs!
