Delaware and New Hampshire bred together should result in Indian Rivers or close or close to them. I say should because like George says who know what breeds were used to get the bantams. Genetics would be uncertain. You can try. I'd be careful ordering Indian Rivers from Cackle Hatchery because there is somehting wrong with their chicks. I put their few chicks that arrived alive in with my newborns so my newborn chicks would help them with teaching them to eat and drink. My chicks died. My week old chicks flat out died within a few days. Their chicks have something, a virulent mycoplasma, something really bad. Their few chicks that were alive gave my chicks something that killed them and these were bought egg chicks, they cost me a fortune. My chicks that were not in the same tubs with Cackle's chicks are fine. I don't want anything from there, not even if it was free. We stopped at a hatchery in Milford and their friends had the same problem with Cackle's chicks. Back to topic, Delawares and New Hampshire are mutts, bred to gether and given a name by a hatchery with diseased chicks. Cathryn
