Developed in Delaware’s Delmarva Peninsula in the 1940s, this cross of a Barred Rock rooster on a New Hampshire hen was popularized for meat production due to its white feathers and excellent meat quality. Faster growing than the Barred Rock but slower than the New Hampshire, the Delaware has a balance of the qualities of its two parent lines.
Our Delawares were developed by crossing our lines of Barred Rocks and New Hampshires.
Please note that while our birds can win shows sometimes, our breeding is more utility than show-focused. Getting show-quality stock cannot be guaranteed to those purchasing chicks or eggs.
Shipping: Hatching eggs are no more than 3-4 days old when shipped. Each egg is carefully candled and only those with small strong air sacks are sent. Eggs are packaged in high-quality custom foam packaging and then double-boxed for safe shipping. These precautions have led to a high level of satisfaction for our hatching eggs customers. We also like to advise buyers that faster shipping tends to improve the fertility rates of shipped eggs. Hatching egg orders are fulfilled on an ongoing basis, if shipping will take more than 1-2 weeks to complete we will let you know.
