I have a question that a friend wanted me to ask. I also posted this in the SDWD forum as well.

She "doesn't do" computers, but is currently raising a flock of about 45 Delawares. She's aware that this is a rare and endangered species and would like to get her birds pedigree certified and become a certified breeder. Anyone know who she should contact to do that? I gave her the contact information for the American Poultry Association and the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, anywhere else? Is there somewhere else on this board I should post this question? Thanks all!!

Chickens don't have pedigrees. Delawares used to be listed as "critical," on the "ALBC Conservation Priority Heritage Chicken Breeds," list. However, they have changed it now to, " threatened." You can see the list here.

It would be great if your friend joined the Delaware poultry club. They also have a breeders list.

Wonderful!! I will give her this contact information. I appreciate it very much. I know she's really looking forward to having a full fledged hertiage breeding program and keeping the delawares going. It's because of her that I ordered 2 of the 4 that I'm getting in March!

One of my new chicks is a Delaware! She's soooo cute. When they still have chick fluff they are yellow like one of those chicks that you think of. Yellow and fluffy!

I do hope this thread doesn't die!

This thread has its busy times and slow times. Someone always revives it. I'm cranking up my incubator this weekend. Got 50 Delaware eggs going in.

I'm hatching a few from my new Deles also. I think most all the threads are seeing less traffic since the big swap over. Might just be the time of year?? ..stan

I thinik it is because of the change over too.

I currently have 10 Delaware eggs that just went into lock down too. [along with 23 Icelandics]
