If your wanting a breed that can free range but come back to the coop dont get a lakenvelder lol. Both of mine prefer to roost high in our red pine rather than go in the coop at nice.
Also, so not a dual purpose bird, they dont get big enough for meat. I have a Barred Rock, Lakenveldes...
I havent been on in a while so thought would stop in. I currently have 1 Silver and 1 Golden. The Silver is 24 weeks old ~ anyone know when I should start expecting eggs? My Golden is 10 weeks old today. The Silver is very flighty and prefers to roost high up in my Red Pine tree, I'm been trying...
I took some updated pics of my Lakenvelders.
Here is my 16 week old Silver pullet named Moon
And the new Goldens, at 3 days old.
Sadly the 1 Silver that came in my order last week died today.
So how are all the Lakenvelders doing ? I noticed this thread doesn't get much attention. I added 3 more Lakenvelders to my flock this week. I now have 2 Silver Lakenvelders and 2 Golden Lakenvelders.
Golden Lakenvelders - Violet and Yolo - 2 days olds
Silver Lakenvelder - Lemon - 2 days...
