Warren

The Warren breed of laying hens represents the pinnacle of decades of dedicated poultry breeding, a tradition that began with James J. Warren, a visionary in poultry genetics. Born on October 10, 1892, in Batavia, New York, Warren transitioned from dairy farming to poultry breeding in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, where he established a thriving poultry operation. In 1923, he launched his groundbreaking breeding program, focusing on White Leghorn and Rhode Island Red (RIR) strains. His meticulous selection process laid the foundation for a breed celebrated worldwide for its resilience, productivity, and superior egg quality.

Over the years, this legacy has been further strengthened by dedicated genetic selection, resulting in todays modern Warren chicken hybrids: the Warren White and the Warren Brown
