Kathy is by far having the best Delawares around, I have a few of her older line and plan to get some of the latest breeding, great birds, docile, pretty, and lay jumbo eggs.

I am raising a dozen of the youngsters now and will be watching them develop closely. If you have a source for her breeding then I'd go with it.

A dozen eggs with a good hatch will give a nice start.

Saw this bird in the Poultry Press this issue from the Pensacola Spring Show this past March.

Saw this bird in person and saw this picture being made. Hate to say it as a Red Guy but what a flashy good looking fowl
Finish was about as good as I have seen on a large fowl. Its like he lived in a 6x6 pen with a foot of straw in it. Best food clean water clean condition's. Congratulations Matt. bob

Bob, don't feel to bad...the RIR's didn't do bad at this show either. Here is a picture of the RIR that was Reserve American of the yellow card show.

Lovely bird, about how old do you think he is?

 

[Matt1616]

He was about 10-11 months in this picture.

My pullet has something wrong with its leg. One hock is bigger than the other and she has been limping lately. What's wrong with her?

She's been laying down a lot, I reckon it's because of the limp.

 

[Matt1616]

Mareks?

 

[Jharper]

Mareks make them sick. I think she just hurt herself.
