Delaware chickens

This is a picture of a male and female Delaware chickens. They are very sweet birds, and they are easy to tame.  With males weighing 8.5 pounds (3.9 kilos) and hens 6.5 pounds (3 kilos), the Delaware is a medium sized breed.  Delawares appear in a single color type: a white body and breast, with light black barring on the ends of the hackle, wings and tails. It is similar to the Columbian color seen in some breeds, but has barring in the dark portions, rather than uniform black.  Like most standard breeds of chicken, the Delaware has a miniaturized bantam version; however, these are rarely seen. Delawares are hardy birds that mature quickly. Hens are good layers
of large to jumbo brown eggs and will go broody. Unlike the most common commercial meat birds in use today, the Delaware does well in free range operations.
