So, I've identified most of my cousin's chickens by lurking here

Good job identifying. I think the 2 white girls are delawares, but I'm not certain. Nice looking birds.

Yeah- I talked to my cousin but he doesn't ever remember the kind of birds he's not hunting! Both the EEs and the Delawares are a bit better than the feed store birds I've seen around, and they've all been fed and cared for to every bit of their genetic potential.

I'm jealous! Those are some very nice looking Delaware hens! My first chickens were 3 Dellie hens and a roo. I had only 1 hen who looked as good as those, and she was the first to fall prey to the darn possum! The next best one was the next to go, and now we just have the smallest hen left, and she has barely any black on her, way too light feathered and thin bodied. And she lays medium sized eggs, not large, though they are a pretty, light pinkish tan.

Your cousing needs to get himself a good Dellie roo to breed those hens! It's very very rare to see nice breed standard Delawares!

(btw, that possum is gone. Dh and I took care of it.

They all look very happy and very well taken care of.
