The Bergische Schlotterkamm (German pronunciation: [ˌbɛʁɡɪʃə ˈʃlɔtɐˌkam]) is an old and endangered German breed of domestic chicken. It originates from the Bergisches Land, in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in western Germany, and is one of three chicken breeds from that area, the others being the Bergische Kräher and the German creeper ("Krüper").
