You will find these information under Welsummers and Amerc. forums and they are very good people to work with. He is pretty loaded down with orders for the year so you will have to email him or contact him to see if there are any orders that backed out or cancelled.

If you read the last issue of Poultry Magazine there is an article about Whitmore Farms and how the owner has brought back the splendor of Delaware breed, after several years of being neglected. According with the article he is a very reputable breeder working on several other breeds.

Will Morrow is a gentleman and a farmer whose chickens are all pastured (truly free-ranging). The chicks he sells are icubator-hatched. His reputation is impeccable, and he has begun what will be a series of articles in Backyard Poultry last month. You can't go wrong with Whitmore's stock. He only raises and sells 4 breeds -- Welsummer, Ameracauna, Marans, and Delaware. All are sold straight-run, minimum 25 unless you pick up at the farm -- then you can get as few as you wish. And you can also purchase excelent lamb, pork products, rabbit, and eggs, while you are there!

Hi! I ordered from Whitmore farms this Spring and got WONDERFUL birds!!!! They are all healthy and robust and beautiful. I got Delawares, Welsummers and Ameracuanas and am in love with them all. The Delawares are huge and sweet and friendly.....I was going to eat the roo, but can't now. He is too special! Will Morrow has an awesome website and writes a farm blog which is full of info on real farming and the importance of buying and eating real food etc. Very informative. These are folks who care about the earth and their animals! I would get chicks from them again in a heartbeat

I ordered Wellies, Dels, Ameraucanas & BC Marans from them last spring. Unfortunately, of the 26 chicks I ended up 13 roos

I ended up giving most of them away and only keeping 2 Wellie hens, the only Del hen of the bunch & a pair of Ameraucanas which I recently sold. The hen was pretty but laying green eggs so I'm trying different breeders this year.

My Family and I took a trip to Whitmore Farm and I must say it was a beautiful, well kept, organic farm that we will defiantly be visiting again. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and organized it was, especially for a farm, and the how well the animals are kept. Wil was such a pleasure to work with and was very generous and accommodating. We bought some beautful Welsummer and Delaware chickens from him and they are laying beautful eggs. I will definitely will re order from Whitemore Farm. From TN
