This breed was originated in the district of Barneveld, Holland, and
stock was imported into this country about 1921, with the brown egg as
one of the chief attractions. At first the birds were very mixed for
markings, some being double laced, others single, while the majority
followed a partridge or `stippled’ pattern. Two varieties were
standardized, namely, double laced and partridge or `stippled’, but the
former gradually came to the top, and is the popular variety of today.
