The Deathlayer (Westfälischer Totleger) is a German breed of domestic chicken. It is more than 400 years old, and is a rare breed. The Totleger derives from the traditional rural chickens of Westphalia, and was reared mainly in the area of the cities of Bielefeld and Herford. It is closely related to the Ostfriesische Möwe and to the Braekel. In German the word Tot means "dead" and Leger means "(egg-)layer". The breed was originally called "Alltagsleger" ("every-day layer") or "Dauerleger". Under the influence of Low German the name changed into "Doutleijer". Later, from this Low German word, it developed into "Totleger". The Totleger was a popular breed until the arrival of more productive foreign breeds in the 1880s. By the time a breeders' association was formed in 1904, it had become largely an exhibition breed. Numbers remained low throughout the twentieth century, reaching a low point in the 1980s. In 2013 the recorded population consisted of 301 cocks and 1353 hens; in 2016 it had fallen to 176 cocks and 798 hens, in the hands of 112 breeders. It was the "endangered breed of the year" in Germany in 1994, and in 2016 was classified as Stark gefährdet, "gravely endangered".
