Excerpt from The Poultry Manual: A Guide to Successful Poultry Keeping in All Its Branches, Fancy and Practical
This breed originated as the Barred Rock in New England and the best authorities give the honor of its production to a Mr. Spalding of Connecticut and claim that it was produced from a cross of a Dominique colored male and Black Cochin hens. Good authorities also claim that the Black Java was used in its production and there are many reasons to believe that that is true. They were first shown at Worcester, Mass. In 1869, by Mr. D. A. Upham, of Connecticut, and were theri called Improved Plymouth Rocks. The name Barred was not given them until later.
