I highly recommend speckledhen....She has gorgeous Heritage Delawares. I haven't seen her farm but I've seen her off spring and they are simply gorgeous. If I weren't on lockdown by hubby (no pen room) for more new chickens I'd be getting some! In fact, I'm looking at turning over the guest bedroom to some. As soon as I sell some of my chickens, they are certainly on my top list of 2 breeds I need!
But seriously please do look under hatching eggs and see her. I'll try to find and post some links.
Her eggs are in big demand. She doesn't ship a lot but if you beg her, I'm thinking she will ship.
She is one of our moderators and well respected here on BYC!
Don't get hatchery Delaware's doesn't matter which hatchery.They are more flighty and not nearly the same quality. Ours are all Heritage I have driven many miles and shipped in many eggs to get this flock and they are very calm and loving birds-will find one under a kids arms frequently. I'm not selling any at this time though.
I have some of Okiehen's Golden Lakenvelders and can tell you she doesn't ship clear eggs ever-I just hatched a bunch of her eggs this weekend and only a power outage kept me from a second 100% hatch from her eggs. Depending on where you are I could be convinced to sell 2 of my Goldens-sold most already.I'm trying to keep my numbers around 150 and it's not easy
