Product Description
This breed was developed in the state of Delaware from an off color sport arising from broilers created by crossing Barred Plymouth Rock cocks with New Hampshire hens. The sport was bred back to New Hampshire hens to create a dual-purpose chicken having the sport’s color – white plumage set off by slight barring in the neck, wing, and tail feathers.
The Delaware has a single comb, comes in a single color, and may be large or bantam. The hens lay brown-shell eggs and a good broody hen.
