The Möwe derives from the traditional rural chickens of north-western Germany and north-eastern Holland, in East Friesland and West Friesland respectively. It is closely related to the Westfälische Totleger and the Braekel.
It is kept in two colour varieties: silver-pencilled and gold-pencilled. Cocks weigh up to 3 kg and hens up to 2.5 kg. Hens lay about 170 eggs per year, averaging 55 g in weight.[1]: 132
