The ÖTZ Caramel is the result of a cross between a German Lachshahn and a White Rock hen. In contrast to Coffee and Cream, only the mother hen is bred by ÖTZ. The Lachshähne come from our cooperating partner Wendlandgeflügel.
The ÖTZ Caramel has white feet and beige-brown flowered plumage in a variety of colors. Occasionally feathers and up to five toes appear on the feet. The beard also gives the animals a special appearance.
Conservation breedingErhaltungszucht bezeichnet die gezielte Zucht von Tieren oder Pflanzen, um bedrohte oder seltene Rassen und Arten langfristig zu erhalten. Das Ziel ist, genetische Vielfalt und traditionelle Eigenschaften zu bewahren, die durch industrielle Zuchtprogramme oder Veränderungen in der Landwirtschaft verdrängt werden könnten. In der Tierzucht wird dabei besonders auf robuste, ursprüngliche Merkmale und die Anpassungsfähigkeit der Tiere geachtet. Die Erhaltungszucht leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Naturschutz, zur Biodiversität und zur nachhaltigen Landwirtschaft. Deutscher Lachshahn x White Rock Henne

No
For this reason, the animals can only be purchased in small numbers as hatching eggs or as chicks from ÖTZ partner hatcheries.
The ÖTZ Caramel dual-purpose chicken cross contributes to the preservation of this endangered old breed as a commercial chicken by using the “Deutsches Lachshuhn” breed (GEH listed in the category “Observation”). With their beard and light feathered feet, the ÖTZ Caramel are also visually a special feature with a unique selling point.
