The Serbian: '''Sombor Kaporka'''|italic=no or Sombor Crested is a Serbian breed of crested chicken. It was bred at the beginning of the twentieth century in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in northern Serbia, and is named for the city of Sombor. It resulted from cross-breeding of imported Sulmtaler and Houdan birds with local chickens. A breed standard was drawn up in about 1918.
