Vorwerk Chicks
« on: February 01, 2010, 18:17:36 »
Hi everyone, we're new to the site but impressed with it so far  8)

We're planning on getting some chicks for the allotment, so far I've always had the brown ready-to-lay chicks but I fancy some different ones this time.  I've heard that Vorwerk are both friendly & lay well.  Does anyone out there have any knowledge of the breed?  The coop will be close to housing (needs to be a quiet breed) and we only want 4/5. Any suggestions/advice out there??

Not sure about Vorwerk chickens,but standard brown/ginger farmyard hens arent noisy due to being quite a confident bird and dont spook too easily.They're also very easy to tame and will follow you around like a puppy.Blackrocks are same and should lay around 6 eggs per week (daylight permitting).

The only breed i wouldnt recomend are the White Leghorns.They lay beautiful porcelain white eggs,but are skittish and noisy beggars!

No experience with Vorwerks. My Speckled Sussex are very quiet and docile.

Thanks for that folks, I'll probably stick to the good all rounder brown hen after all!!  ;)
