I got a shipment of Delawares from a breeder in California. She primarily bred for meat but tried to breed to the standard. A couple of these boys are more white and have combs closer to the standard. Maybe someone would like to use them to show? Most boys are big and have too much smut on the back for show. I'm trying to spare as many lives as I can as this breeder retired and closed her business. I have the last shipment of her chicks and I don't want her line to die out. She was very good at recovering the weight this breed should be hitting.

I got them from Erin Angulo at Dawnridge Farm in Grass Valley, CA.

That is an interview from her from a few years ago.

These chicks will be 8 weeks old this coming Sunday. Most cockerels are 2+ lbs by now. I'm only asking $25 per cockerel to help recover the feed costs and actual cost of the chicks. Preferably used for breeding. These are friendly, well bred boys.

I don't have a lot of space and I will need to process them by 12-14 weeks. I really don't want to process these nice genetics. Please tell me someone can use some of these to breed for meat or show.

First 4 photos are of the whitest cockerel for show. He almost looks like a pullet. Can someone use him? I have a second one that is almost as white too.
