Show off your Delawares! *PIC HEAVY*

[Stevenson]

I was pleasantly surprised a couple of nights ago at the tails of a couple of my Del hens. I thought that they were all pinched, but I had not been paying as much attention to them as I had been the roos.

This is one of my better roos. My Dels are about 18.5 weeks old in these pictures.
Note: the peach color doesn't exist - there is some yellowing, but no peach as is indicated in these photos

I haven't weighed any of them. How would you suggest doing it?

I have a special scale that I use for mine, but I could just as easily use a bathroom scale.

Weigh yourself.
Then catch the bird and weigh it while holding it.
Subtract the two weights and you have the weight of the bird.

My bathroom scale is a LCD that displays the weights in tenths of a pound.

You sure DID get a great deal!

I took a bunch of pictures. I am uploading them now. One rooster may have earned a reprieve out of the processing pen. Maybe.​
