Maybe that's why then, I think the Rhode Island Red would probably reduce the amount of black in her neck.She’s supposed to be a Columbian Rock Cross from Mt Healthy (hence the poor coloring). A Columbian mixed w a Rhode Island Red. They don’t carry Delawares, so if that doesn’t sound right I’m stumped! My neighbor has a few and they are EXTREMELY gentle and quiet. We love our Coconut, no matter what she is!
