Lakenvelder Rooster?

[ARose4Heaven]

I saw a Lakenvelder rooster adveritised for free on Craigslist near here, and wonder if anybody has a picture of one? I couldn't find it listed in the Breeds section. I am a little hesitant to make the drive for just one bird if it isn't something I would like.

When you want to see photos of a breed or variety, feathersite is the first place to look.

Here's a few photos from the site Sonoran Silkies mentioned:

Quite striking roosters.

I have a couple of roosters I'm going to be giving away if you are interested?

I just live in Des Moines

I used to have a Golden Lakenvelder named Roo:

This is his son Lil' Roo who needs a home (he is quite a bit smaller because he is a cross with a banty):

This is how they are supposed to look:

Henk, Lakenvelders & Vorwerks are separate beeds aren't they?
On looking at the 'History' page it is interesting to see the differences between the picture from 1903 & the picture from 1945.
My Dutch is not good, & I couldn't understand enough words to get together what was being conveyed.
Did Oskar Vorwerk use Lakenvelders when developing the Vorwerk? How does hounderij translate? Is it something to do with farm?
