    Hello

    Hi Ribh, I do like the Vorwerk as a breed. Nice compact little hens and I have a soft spot for the low countries (my inlaws are all in Belgium and I used to work for a company based in Amsterdam). Hi Maryjanet, no, no website.

    unpopular chicken opinions??

    Mine are Silvia, Gladys, Buffy and Wilma. Most of the names play off the breed, but Gladys is a Voorwerk and the most stupidly reactive hen I have had in a long time. Thus I named her after a politician with similar tendencies. If I'd had hens when RGB passed, I might have memorialised by...

    Hello

    Hello Everyone, I'm Katy, mid 50s, Australian and living in Victoria. I'm not new to chickens, I've lived with backyard poultry since childhood. I've had a few years without chickens after a disease issue coming from the next-door neighbours's flock. My neighbour no longer keeps any poultry, so...
