Is this guy one of Kathy's creations or one of her other delawares ( like from Pual's or speckled hens stock) ? ? ?

Not one of her projects, the f2's aren't of breedable age yet. From the looks of him I think he is one of Oliver's son's. Oliver is neither Paul Harter or Speckledhen.

Good broad back on that boy, Laura, I really like him.

He is from my Oliver; not from one of my projects. No, Oliver is not from Paul or speckledhen stock.

I will try to get a posting of my BILL to compare this guy to. You would think they were brothers ( IMHO) if you didn't know better.
I think Hillbilly Hen's roo's tail barring looks better than mine, but man are they close in many other aspects.

Thanks for the comments. I cannot wait to see pics of yours.

He is a handsome guy. I looked back to see who Oliver is, and Kathy mentioned his pinched tail. It looks like Kathy found a solution because this cockerel's tail doesn't look pinched. Am I correct?

Still trying to learn,

Kim, he is broader than most I have seen- on the picture looking straight down on to his back, see how he is almost as broad at the back end as he is on the front? That is highly desirable and if Laura doesn't look out, I am going to come steal him! Or send all my girls to live with Laura for a couple weeks and then hatch like a mad woman.

Kathy, Oliver did a splendid job with this one -
