The Delewares were ordered straight run and I ended up with 50/50, lost a lot of this breed in the first 5 weeks or so for no apparent reason and they are very skittish. I lost 2 Mottled Javas as well but all 5 of the ones that lived are pullets they ate each others tail feathers in the beginning but I dealt with that and now they look kind of like a rumpless cross but they will grow back. I am actually quite fond of the Javas and wouldn't mind trying to get a rooster and breeding some. The Gold Laced Wyandottes are pretty but have a lot of variation in their combs...will see how they mature. I am pleased with the Ameracaunas/EE's they all have slate legs and muffs not much colour variety and we will see how blue their eggs are. I didn't get any pics of the speckled sussex yet but will they are ok and growing well...I have seen better examples but nice birds anyway. These are some of the birds from the surviving 35.
