The Ostfriesische Möwe, Dutch: Groninger Meeuw, is an old German breed of domestic chicken. It is a rare breed: in 2016 the recorded population in Germany consisted of 215 cocks and 979 hens, in the hands of 130 breeders.[1]: 132 Its conservation status is gefährdet, "endangered".[1]: 132
It is kept in two colour varieties: silver-pencilled and gold-pencilled. Cocks weigh up to 3 kg and hens up to 2.5 kg. Hens lay about 170 eggs per year, averaging 55 g in weight.[1]: 132
These are the chicken breeds considered in the Netherlands to be wholly or partly of Dutch origin. Inclusion here does not necessarily imply that a breed is predominantly or exclusively Dutch.
