According to Jessie's ebay posting - - - he collects birds from chicken shows and breeds accordingly. So, it is not like he has a "pure" line or "closed" flock. He brings in new birds into the mix as he finds them.

Kathy, you have some nice birds in there- and I have no idea about the green legs except that I know you will do your usual thorough, painstaking job of researching and come up with an answer for all of us!!!

Hey everyone. I grabbed a bunch of pics of my Dels on Sunday, you can look through them here. I culled a dwarf chick, and the others are doing very well. Jay, the obvious cockerel, is leaving soon. I'll miss him. The others will stay. One I'm unsure of, but thinking pullet with a big comb. These are 70 pictures.

Here are the pics- http://s1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff449/BVRNixChixEggs/Dels Today/dels 3 13 11/?start=all

Can you tell which girl is hatchery stock?

 

[kathyinmo]

I have some girls with "pale" legs, but let me tell ya, these are green legs .... no doubt about it.

I am trying an experiment. I am going to cross back my Dels to New Hampshires. Today I put 2 Delaware girls in the New Hampshire pen. And, I took 1 New Hampshire girl and put her in with Oliver in the Delaware pen. I wanna see if I can improve on anything by doing this.

They all look pretty identical. I can't really see a difference at first look.

Do some have green legs?
