Healthy and free-range chickens, up to 1 year old
 
Summary:
The Delaware is a hardy, dual-purpose heritage chicken breed developed in the U.S. during the 1940s, prized for its dependable egg production and calm temperament. As a layer, it produces approximately 200–280 large brown eggs per year and begins laying around 5 to 6 months of age. Delawares are cold- and heat-tolerant, making them well-suited for various climates, and their friendly nature makes them ideal for backyard flocks. With striking white plumage accented by black barring on the neck and tail, the Delaware is both attractive and functional, offering excellent value for small farms and conservation-minded keepers.
