Jonathon Lack - hatched by Triple D Farm in Wasilla, raised by Kelsey Hecker of Blue Moon Dairy, and currently enjoying a leisurely life at the Alaska Hamptons in Seward.
Jonathon is being shown as a Delaware Cockerel at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. He will be on display in the Poultry Barn August 26 - 31.
Delawares, or "Indian Rivers," were developed by George Ellis of Delaware in 1940. Known for their calm and friendly disposition, this unusually broody rooster loves everything and everyone.
A very rare heritage breed, Delawares are listed by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy as “Critical”. It is one of five chicken breeds developed in America that are in danger of disappearing globally, with fewer than 500 birds in the US. The Delaware Club of America was founded in 2008 to save this endangered breed from extinction.
