New Hampshire Reds were developed in the state of New Hampshire through a gradual process of selection, which began around 1915 with Rhode Island Reds as the foundation stock. At one time this breed was the leading breed used for the production of brown eggs and broiler meat. They are one of the fastest growing dual-purpose breeds and they feather very rapidly. Of the dual-purpose breeds, New Hampshires are one of the preferred breeds for the production of meat. Their color is primarily chestnut red with a black tail.
