Laravel - Timestamp field being read as string

I have a custom timestamp field in my database, delivery_date

$table->timestamp('delivery_date')->nullable();

Whenever I try to utilize this field, it brings it in as a string...

"2018-12-17 00:00:00"

but if I use the same code with the created_at timestamp for example, it brings it in as the timestamp.

date: 2018-12-09 00:00:00.0 America/New_York (-05:00)

I have attempted changing the field in the migration to datetime and date with the same result.

I have also attempted converting the result via...

strtotime($order->delivery_date)

but for some reason it converts it to an integer.

in order to get delivery_date as created_at you have to add delivery_date to your model as protected $dates = ['delivery_date'];
