Vorwerk adults or chicks

[sunny1]

I am looking for Vorwerk adults or chicks to start my own flock.Preferably standard size ,but will try bantams. Anyone know of any breeders in the US? Thanks

Vorweks are True Bantams. There are no larger counterparts

If you want something similar, Look for Gold Lakenvelder

Try http://chickhatchery.com/index.html for Vorweks

And try Farrier! for Golden Lakenvelders

I fell in love with standard sized Vorwerks that I have seen only on the internet. Here is the feathersite page on Vorwerks:

I am a bit confused as to whether LF Vorwerks are the exact same thing as Golden Lakenvelders, because I think I read somewhere that Lakenvelders were used in the making of Vorwerks, which would seem to indicate that they are similar but not the exact same thing?

I bought some Golden Lakenvelder eggs from Okiehen last summer. I had a good hatch rate and they are very pretty little things.

We do not have standard sized Vorwerks in the USA. They would be considerd Golden Lakenvelders

Good luck and Have a Happy New Year!
