Breda is a domestic chicken breed from the Dutch provinces of Gelderland and North Brabant . Chickens that are similar to today's Breda breed can be found in a painting by the Dutch painter Jan Steen from around 1650. The names of the breed no longer in use today are "Gelderisches Huhn" and "Crowbenschnabelhuhn".
features
The Breda breed lacks a comb in the true sense of the word. Instead, there is a depression on the head lined with red flesh skin with slightly bulging edges. Behind it sits a little head of feathers.
