The Auerhuhn is considered a feathered “King of the Forest” and is the biggest chicken foga in Europe. But the survival of this kind is very threatened. In Vorarlberg there can only be 91 individuals.
In the few still quiet mountain forests, animal houses that usually remain hidden from the human view – have the upper chickens. Masters of camouflage and perfectly adapted to their natural habitats, they are ambassadors of untouched nature. “There are a total of four species in Vorarlberg. The Birkhuhn, the Haselhuhn, about which we only have a few data, because it is very withdrawn, the Alpine Tag and the Auerhuhn. The latter is certainly the rarest, “says Johanna Kronberger of Birdlife Vorarlberg.
