Abstract

The Styrian hen is an autochthonous chicken breed in Slovene and Austrian Styria. The article describes it as an independent genetic form similar to adherents of Mediterranean order as well as its genotypic traits together with breed standards. Its economic potential is modest in camparison to the intensive crossbreeds, therefore its conservation depends on fanciers. Hence the study of this breed is important from ethnographic point of view.
