Kraienkopp

The Kraienkopp (German pronunciation: [ˈkʁaɪənˌkɔp]) or Twents Hoen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈtʋɛnts ˈɦun]) is a breed of chicken originating on the border region between Germany and the Netherlands.

The latter of the two names is the Dutch language version, while the former is German.

The Kraienkopp breed was developed in the late nineteenth century from crosses of local types with Malays, and later with silver duckwing Leghorns.

[2][3] The Kraienkopp appears in numerous colour varieties: in the United Kingdom silver, gold, orange/lemon, blue-gold, crele, pile, blue-silver, cuckoo and silver cuckoo are recognised.

Hens lay a fair number of off-white eggs, and will go broody.
