Hi Everybody!

My name's Peter, 33, from Poland.

I've been raising chickens for quite some time now, but this year I've decided to separate them by breed and start hatching eggs in order to sell the chicks.

Currently raising: wyandottes (black, blue, silver pencilled and partridge), vorwerks, marans, Italian lavender leghorns, buff rocks and green shells (a fairly new breed created in Czech Republic - my neighboring country).

Looking forward to interact with you guys and exchange ideas

Welcome to BackYardChickens! So glad to have you here in our wonderful community of friendly, helpful, knowledgeable people!

Welcome I have only seen Vorwerks in pictures and I think they are very attractive. Lots of information and experience here . Glad you joined us.

Here's a picture of my Vorwerk broody with some of her chicks (mostly leghorns and one la fleche).

You have a lot of different breeds. Are they Large flocks or just small flocks with a lot of variety? I have a small flock of bantams mottled cochins, four one rooster and three hens. I have marans in a larger flock of 21. You listed nine breeds. Are they all in seperate pens?

They are all large fowl and for now they are 'mixed' with each other, as in no separate pens. I am planning to start breeding my own marans, vorwerks and buff rocks next year, though, so it's a matter of time before they're separated.

I am just beginning to breed marans. Started my marans flock this year. Vorwerks are interesting because they are rare in the US. Marans are rare but not extremely rare like the vorwerks. I wish you all the best on your breeding adventure. Lots of information and experience here.

Both the marans and the vorwerk are quite common in Europe, but finding someone who breeds buff rocks took me almost 4 years. You'll get your vorwerks eventually Keep the faith
