What breeds to use to make a Lakenvelder???

My 3 year old daughter is better than me at puzzles, lol.

We can't get lakenvelders or vorwerks in Australia, I was hoping someone could answer what lakenvelders are bred from Pretty shitty import laws here, can't get anything from outside of Australia and when people tried legally, it backfired from one case of salmonella so 4000 baby chicks, 10 years and half a million dollars went down the drain.

So yes, if anyone can tell how lakenvelders are made, that'd be awesome.

I appreciate a good puzzle, but I'm afraid this one goes beyond good. The development of the Lakenvelder appears to be so ancient that it would be almost impossible to reconstruct it. The Livestock Conservancy states the following about the development of the Lakenvelder:
While it may be true to say that the Lakenvelder chicken breed as we know it was developed in Holland and Germany, it is also true that its ancestry is much older. Some 2,000 years before the birth of Christ, there was an immigration of Indo-Aryan wise men whom upon arrival in Mesopotamia, became known as the Holy men of the Brahmaputra River, or Ah-Brahman. These men brought with them, from the Indus Valley, the first domestic chickens. Some of the Ah-Brahman settled in Palestine, at the city of Armageddon, also known as Tel Megiddo – where they breed their fowl, valuing it primarily for the crow of the roosters and, later, for the eggs. . . . Around 1 A.D., Jewish immigrants to Holland and Germany brought with them their Tel Megiddo chickens. So it is that the ancestors of the Lakenvelder chicken arrived in Europe.

As interesting as the offspring of cross breeding may be, I think saladin has the right idea on this one. Good luck on your attempts to try and create a Lakenvelder (I think you're going to need it). )
