Dresender Chicken

     The Dresender is a German Chicken breed, that is almost exclusive to its country of origin. It was developed around 1950s by crossing Rhode Island Reds, New Hampshires and Wyandottes.

     The Dresender is a dual-purpose chicken that produces plenty of eggs and tasty meat. It’s also a robust, lively and cold hardy bird, with a slightly elongated rounded shape. Dresenders have rose combs, red earlobes, small wattles, and bright-yellow legs.

     Dresender hens are good layers of brown eggs (180 eggs per year of weight 55 g or more per each). The hens occasionally go broody and make great mothers when they do.

     The Dresdner comes in many different color-varieties which include; gold-brown, rust-colored, black, white, and black-breasted red. A bantam version is available for this breed, which is known to be a good egg layer too. The Dresdner bantam hen lays around 120 eggs per year, which is good indeed for a bantam-sized chicken.
