Vierländer Chicken
The Vierländer was a snow-white, tender-fleshed fowl with large, black eyes that was common in the Hamburg Vierlanden . Through crossbreeding of Spaniards , Andalusians and Cochins , the original four-country chicken rose in what is now Ramelsloher .
The Vierländer was "graceful and graceful in form and character" and a little lighter than the Ramelsloher. Their meat was considered a delicacy. The hens wore a sloppy comb . According to Oefele and Fitzinger , the four-country chicken was a Spanish chicken "raised" in the Vierlanden . Others believe that it is a local variant of the German country fowl, which early on had lost the speckled pattern in favor of a uniform (white) color.
As early as 1923, Dürigen assumed that the four-country chicken stroke had "completely disappeared".
