North Holand Chicken : The dual purpose chickwn from North Holland

Suite with it's name, the Chicken comes from Purmered, northern Holland Region. The chicken developed from Malines Chicken from Belgian that is also crossed to other native chicken. 

I don't know why the chicken blue? The chicken color is cucko . Perhaps teh ancestor of the chicken blue ? 

The roster very weigh . That is about 3,540 kilogram abd the female is less, weigh 2,25 to 2,35 kilogram. The breeder also develop bantam version which is smaller. The bantam version rosters weights around a kilogram.  To me it is very big for bantam. Java bantam weight is only one pound or half kilogram. 

The hen could lays eight 180 to 240 eggs a year.
