Dilemma! Maybe I should get Hybrids after all!

Recommended Posts

They are gorgeous.

I am happy with my mix. I lost one hybrid at only two and a half years old yesterday. She went down hill very fast with egg peritonitis so DH had to end her suffering for her. I hate it that they have to pay such a high price for being good egg layers. At least a pure breed has a break from laying in the winter.

BTW I have two Vorwerks and they look nothing like any of yours :?

I must get some pictures on here :D

 

My Vorwerk cant actually be seen on this pic unless I can get it a bit smaller and moved over a bit ... You cant mistake a Vorwerk, with their black heads and buff bodies. Mine is still immature so hasn't got her comb yet - and she is the littlest of my flock (but my secret favourite)

Thank you poachedegg - I must admit I am very proud of them - anyone would think I had laid them myself!

The breeder is a lovely lady called Jackie Mottram - in Aston-by-Budworth (between Knutsford & Northwich) She has a website - gardenhens.co.uk - I think. Or you can email her at gardenhens@aol.com - I couldn't recommend her highly enough and as well as the seven breeds I bought from her, she had some very fancy black ones with pom-poms on their heads - and sends their fertilised eggs all over Europe apparently ...
