The detail
New Hampshires were developed in New Hampshire in the early 1900s from Rhode Island Reds, bred for faster growth and earlier laying. They are a lighter chestnut red and a good dual-purpose chicken.
What to weigh
New Hampshires can be pushy with more timid breeds. Roosters can be aggressive.
