Looking to order Delawares from hatchery.

Can some of you help me find a hatchery with good Delawares? I'm preparing for spring. Please post pictures if you have them

Are you near west Tennessee or northeast Mississippi by any chance?


Cuz if you are, I know where some high quality Delawares can be had, but I don't think she can mail them.

No. I'm in Maryland.

Then go to Whitmore farms in Maryland...where I got mine from them and I'm in OK?

Thank you for the help. I can't decide whether I want just hatchery or pay more for less birds from a breeder. I have heard they are a dying breed, but this site is packed with people with them and if they are so rare how can nearly every hatchery offer them?

Welp or Privett have nice hatchery Dels - but there are several threads on here where you could find nice breeder quality birds. It is a breed that is threatend but you have found the one place where this a dedicated group of people that are trying to bring it back - and we have just formed a new Delaware club to promote them as well

Delawares, now are relatively common yes. But it is the 'Heitage Delaware' birds that are so rare. Meaning, the lines of their anscestory must be traceable over one hundred years.

Cackle Hatchery. By far the best and less expensive.
