Show off your Delawares! *PIC HEAVY*

Nicole, I am sure those babies are thrilled to be in their new big area! I used to do the same thing ..... go in and sit on the floor and get mobbed! I miss that. It was such fun.

Oh it IS!!!! I've been waiting ages to get them out there, JUST so I could go in and sit with them

Oh I got one on my neck, and OUCH! Now I keep it covered

That is my Speckled Sussex cockerel I got from bargain a month ago. The Del babies are in with him, Frog (SS pullet) and 2 bantam barnevelder cockerels. They all get along very nicely

yup, they SURE are!!! Once the coop and run get sectioned off, they'll even have their own place to range... which will be chaotic and full of crazy antics I'm sure

Here is a question for all of you Delaware owners. A friend of mine came across a breeder whose Delawares are laying pinkish-purpley eggs. Do any of your Delawares lay that same color?

Mine do

Do you have a picture? I can imagine a pink egg, but not a pinkish-purply one!

 

[Hillbilly Hen]

sure will, give me a few since I am on dial up

Here you go. They are the two on the bottom of the yellow carton. I don't know if the camera does it justice though. But you can see the difference compared to the other eggs.

another angle...right end of yellow carton

Is that what my del eggs are supposed to look like? Only two of mine lay the darker color eggs.
