A relatively new breed that was first developed in the state of Delaware from off coored sports that occurred when Barred Plymouth Rock males and New Hampshire females were crossed. They are excellent egg producers and large enough to be used for meat when their use as layers is over. Chicks are primarily a light yellow or cream color with some having a few black specks or spots mostly on top of the head, wings, and wing tips.
