Does anyone know what a DeKalb breed is?

[Dooner]

I am interested in knowing some background on the DeKalb breed and any color variations?

I want to add that they are black and are referred tomas Special Blacks?

I'm wondering if this isn't some form of production line?

Hi, yes DeKalb is one of the big production breeders and has several strains of layers. Amberlinks are one of them. It has been a while since I have looked on their site so I don't remember what all they offer..
