The Zwerg-Dresdner is a bantam chicken breed originating from Germany. It was developed for exhibition purposes and is known for its attractive appearance and charming personality. This breed is a miniature version of the larger Dresdner breed, maintaining the same physical characteristics but in a smaller form.
Zwerg-Dresdner chickens are best suited for small-scale backyard settings and can adapt well to confinement. They enjoy foraging if given the opportunity but are also content in smaller, enclosed spaces as long as their environment is stimulating.
