The blue hen was adopted by the Delaware General Assembly on April 14 1939.
During the Revolutionary War Captain Johnathan Caldwell took a few of these birds with him from his farm and throughout the war used them for food and entertaining his men.
Regiments from Delaware soon became known as the Fighting blue hens because of their fighting ability.
