Colonists in colonial Delaware did chores similar to what many did in that era.Ê Men chopped firewood, farmed the land, cared for livestock, hunted and fished, along with regular jobs many had. Woman cooked meals, often cared for chickens and milked cows, cared forÊchildren, washed the laundry,Êsewed clothing, tended a garden, and cared for the home.
Girl chores were feeding animals, taking care with younger brothers or sisters, cleaning houses, preparing food, making and sewing clothes, getting vegetables and fruits for family, working in gardens, and making candles.
Boy chores were hunting, harvesting crops, fishing, milking cows, getting eggs, and feeding animals such like the girls.
