New Hampshire
The New Hampshire were developed from the Rhode Island Red around 1915 in New Hampshire. Farmers in New Hampshire continued breeding and came up with a hen that matures early, has large brown eggs, feathers quickly and has lots of strength and vigor. The New Hampshire was recognized by the Standard of Perfection in 1935. The New Hampshire is a large dual purpose bird, with a single comb. They are known for their friendliness,can be easily handled,and can be docile if they are handled frequently.The accurate name for the breed is simply New Hampshire. These birds are of German bloodlines. If you are interested in raising quality New Hampshires email me at carondesign@yahoo.com and I will give you the contact information to order them. Mine are chicks right now so I can not provide eggs or chicks.
