Holland
American breed developed at the Rutgers experiment station and admitted in 1949, meant to give farmers a dual-purpose bird laying the white eggs the market wanted then. The Barred variety survives, and it sits among the rarest American breeds. It looks like a Barred Rock on a lighter frame.
Cold-hardy and unfussy, which makes sense of them in a cool wet climate. Keep Hollands and you are helping hold the breed together.
