Hi guys, I can't keep up with the messages here! I'm still on May 1st!
Anyway, I have a question;
I bought an order of 50 Delawares from Privett Hatchery this year. I sold over half of them, but I still have 19 left. 2 of those 19 are Roosters.
We are zoned agricultural. Zoning says we can have all the chickens we want. Health department says ok, but no roosters because of the noise (grr
) Would love to try a breeding program, but you cant do that too well without Roosters.
Anyway, these Delawares are 10 1/2 weeks old. I'm trying to sell two Breeding Trios, but not having much luck. (

After all that, my question is this;
When do Delaware Roosters start to crow?
How long do I have to lower the price, or send them to freezer camp?
Thanks!
Marty
