Description

Originating in western Germany, the westfälische Totleger Chicken is an esteemed domestic bird species, known for its standing as a rare 'once a day layer'. This creature, intriguingly, manifests in both barred and self-colored varieties. Their classifiable 'V' shaped comb and refined nature augment their general distinctiveness.
