HollandHollands are actually an American breed of chicken, believe it or not. The name derives from the fact that they were originally developed from stock that was imported from Holland. They're calm, friendly layers and do well in homesteading situations because they're good foragers and they do go broody occasionally. Unfortunately, they're quite rare, and are often less attractive to backyard chicken keepers because their eggs are white.
