    Painting my #1 girl, Tinkie!

    Hi! Tinkie (also known as Tink, Tinkie Winkie, Tinkie Birb) is my 10 month old Delaware. From the day we brought her home as a tiny little fluff ball we knew there was just something special about her. She was so friendly and outgoing that I was sure she would end up being a rooster! Eggs a few...

    Hen got a little too excited 😅

    Just wanted to share my awkward and gross encounter with one of my Delawares a few moments ago. A few of my chickens love to hop up on my lap and get some cuddles in when I’m in the coop. My Delaware, Willow, does this the most. This morning she hopped up and I gave her a hug like always except...

    Delaware rooster?

    This chick is 3-4 weeks old & has been extremely brave & fearless from day 1, pecks a lot, and jumps up on anything it can. I’ve joked that it has a rooster personality however am now wondering if it really is. Speckled black and white feathers, larger comb than the others, although it’s more...

    Playing hen or roo with Delawares

    Got two Delawares a few weeks ago, just curious if anyone has thoughts on this one’s gender. I don’t know exactly how old they are, I’m guessing they were about a week old when I brought them home which would put them around four weeks now. I only put pictures of one because the other won’t pose...

    What breed are these?? And gender guesses?

    Bought these 6 chicks May 30th from tractor supply. No labels were there so I had no idea what I was getting. The all were yellow but two had a single black dot and seemed a tad bigger than the other four. They have gotten whiter and whiter with a couple black spots showing up and have grown so...

    Rooster or Hen

    Hey all! Looking to crowdsource some opinions here. This little one was hatched at the beginning of June so we’re coming up to the six month mark and I’m still not sure of their gender! Looks to be the offspring between my buff silkie roo, Peter, and a Delaware. No crowing, no Spurs, no mating...

    Delaware vs Columbian Wyandotte

    Tried searching for a breakdown between the two and didn’t find anything… so apologies if this is a repeat. What are the differences between a Delaware and Columbian Wyandotte (hen)? Visually they look very similar. I’m sure there are small characteristics that make it obvious which is which...
