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
Vorweks are True Bantams. There are no larger counterparts I fell in love with standard sized Vorwerks that I have seen only on the internet. Here is the feathersite page on Vorwerks: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Vorwerks/BRKVorwerks.html 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? Heres a pic from http://www.huehner-info.de/infos/rassen_vorwerk.htm and a pic from http://www.erhaltungszucht-vorwerkhuhn.de/
I bought some Golden Lakenvelder eggs from Okiehen last summer. I had a good hatch rate and they are very pretty little things.

They would be considerd Golden Lakenvelders
There's an auction going on now: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=277453 Don't know if you are near these folks but apparently they have vorwerks...\\ Good luck and Have a Happy New Year!
