Are you going to the WFF Show in Monroe on the 16th? You might find some barnie eggs there. You might want to contact Tailfeathers (one page back) and see if he'll be bringing any. I know he'll be there showing his birds.

Hi Liz! I'm looking forward to seeing you in Monroe, I hope our weather warms up a bit by then. I know Royce is from G.Falls, who is it that's in Black Diamond?

Hello DiamondDust! Welcome to BYC! What part of the state are you from? I have just one Barney and I'm in Kitsap. Good luck starting your new flock!

Hi Andy, Happy New Year. I'd love to have Willamette Valley weather! The earlier conversation, and my comment about barred rocks came from the picture RachaelS posted (above). She crossed her BR hen with Barnie roo and got sex-linked chicks. The 5 pullets in the picture are laying dark...

When my friend thought she had an egg eater, it turned out to be a rat getting in. Is that a possibility?

Merry Christmas to Everyone! May Peace and Joy Be Yours!

I'd be super interested to find out if they are darker than the average brown egg! Is there any possibility you might be able to find out still? And Merry Christmas to you!

Congrats on the Barnie egg!! That's always such a rush. I like the sex links you made, they're very pretty. Was their mother also a prolific layer? Is it just their neck that has the iridescent green feathers or is it their whole body? I can see myself wanting one of these down the road...

For education purposes, continuing with the lesson from TLS above, I tried to get some pictures of my girl Betsy. She really didn't want to participate by holding still, of course. Is this "shafting" where I've drawn the arrows? And can you tell me anything else about her feathers... terms I...

Okay, very good explanations. Tomorrow I'm going to look more closely at my girl and see if I can make out the things you've shown me here. Thank you!

The feathers on this bird's breast look amazingly like someone carefully placed and glued each feather on one at a time! Being a novice, I don't know what shafting is, can you explain? Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!

Tailfeathers... it was nice to meet you at the show Saturday. Your big roo was certainly a nice looking fella! Carolyn

Hi Andy, Yep, all the way from Bremerton! Call us crazy, but we enjoy these type of events and we're usually looking for an excuse to take the trailer for a spin! We went to the big show last fall and had a blast, so this year it's the swap. Besides DH went to OSU so it's like old home week...

Oh... WOW... How Beautiful! I have just one Barnie, got her a couple of months ago, she's cute but WOW... yours is Gorgeous!! By any chance are you attending the swap in Corvallis on Oct. 27? If so I will search you out, bring a chair, and just stare at these beauties for a while. But...

Really interesting! I had no idea that sun and water would change their feathers. But then I guess it's just like the sun bleaching our hair! (light bulb)

Thank you all for your replies. It sounds like I just need to be more patient. She is the only newbie, I have just 3 total, and didn't realize it was going to be so hard on her. Perhaps if she were a more assertive personality it would have been easier for her. She's getting a bit more bold...

Is it typical for a Barnie to take longer to integrate into a new "family"? Four weeks ago I got a pullet that had already started laying. She's pretty timid which I understand is pretty normal for Barnie's. But at night she still sleeps in the doorway of the pop door rather than on the...

Hi All, I've just started reading this thread, what a nice group of people. I didn't know there were so many different color variations, the blue laced are quite something! I've only seen one barnie, a pullet, so I have a beginners question. When I heard her voice, instead of clucking...
