Delawares
Developed in the state of Delaware as the name suggests in 1940 from a cross of the Barred Plymouth Rock and the New Hampshire Red. They are white with barring on the hackles, primaries, secondaries and tail. They are a great dual-purpose bird and are very calm and friendly. They lay a very large, tinted brown egg, sometimes with double yolks. This breed has been listed as Threatened on The Livestock Conservancy endangered breeds list and are on Slow Food's Ark of Taste. Our stock comes from a private breeder in NY and from Sandhill Preservation Center in Iowa.
