biomistake .... great pictures! Glad to see you posting with us! We love pictures!

16 weeks old now, a few of my youngest Delawares from Claudia/Cyn hatch.

Kathy, that is a nice roo in front, and nice tail black on those girls! It is two roos and two pullets, right? I wish I could see more of the ones directly in front of the bush- is that roo as nice as the other one? Jacob may have some competition!

What do ya think .... she is getting red in the face, and I am thinking she may lay soon (16 wks old). Maybe a couple more weeks?

What do you think of these two roosters I kept from this hatch?

Jacob looking around, "Competition? Where?"

"I don't think so!"

Lookin in the mirror (clear water) at himself, to be sure!

Right now I like the #1 Roo better back more balanced.....

I like roo #1 VERY much- but roo2 looks like he could be a looker once he gets more tail? Either way, you may send both of them to me as soon as possible!!!! Jacob must never feel threatened. He is really beautiful, Kathy.

Your sweet pullet looks much the same as Cora when she popped her surprise first egg, so I would be on the lookout next week-

Beth, I was thinking of you when I saved back these two roos. I am happy with Jacob, and want only one more (as a spare). I like both of these younger boys. The pictures don't really show them as well as I had hoped. I think they do look pretty good though. If you need one, Beth, you are welcome to have one!

Cetawin, thanks for that link- what a sweet story- I would have missed it if you hadn't cued us in.

Gosh, if I didn't know better, I'd think that pic of Jacob was his daddy.
