Šumavanka
Breed of chicken
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Šumava is an old breed of chicken originating in the Bohemian Forest in the Czech Republic.[1] Original Šumava chickens became extinct, but in the second half of 20th century, the breed was restored by crossing a few remaining animals from the original population with Czech gold brindle chicken, yellow Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Wyandotte.
