The Vorwerk does anyone have any?

I'm going to buy some hatching eggs and i quite like the look of the Vorwerk. Does anyone on here have any? If so are they decent layers?

I dont have Vorweks but I have kept the bantam version. Really beautiful birds, and ok layers. A bit flighty if anything

I was the original importer of Vorwerks to Britain in the late 1970s.  The bantam version has been created in UK since that time.

They are indeed a beautiful bird, can be a little flighty but then they are a lightweight !!
I have known some be very quiet so it is probably all due to the method of raising/socialising.

There are quite a lot poor coloured birds around... the bosy should be buff (any shade) but no mossiness/peppering on saddle feathers.  Necks & tails jet black,  blue/grey legs.
