Our Delaware juveniles will be 4-6 weeks old upon order fulfillment. Our line of Delaware usually begin to lay between 20-22 weeks of age. Allowing your juveniles time to adjust and become accustomed to their new home will help keep them on track with their laying cycle. Please see our Delaware Breed Page for more information on this breed.
