California Grey

California Greys were developed in the state of California from White Leghorns and Barred Plymouth Rocks. This cross yielded a bird with favorable characteristics, including small body size and excellent white egg production from the White Leghorn, and the barred plumage from the Barred Plymouth Rock. California Greys are active, alert, and good foragers that double as an excellent egg producing bird.
