Hollands are a fairly rare breed of large chickens that are dual purpose and originate from America. They are hard to tell from Plymouth rocks and Dominiques, but can be recognized as the Plymouth Rock has colored feet and the Dominique has a rose comb.
Hollands are typically raised in farm settings across the United States where they can roam freely. They adapt well to both confined spaces and free-range environments. They are resilient to cold weather, which makes them suitable for a variety of climates across America.
