Here is my Barnie x Barred Plymouth Rock Roo, look at that "U" shaped back, totally Barnie and the green in his tail feathers. His name is Gumball LOL (yep I have kids) and he is HUGE only 35 weeks old and the biggest chicken around by far.

I like the name Gumball. (I have kids too and my barnevelder roo is named Bullet by them)

Breeding Welsummers and Barnevelders.

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

Hi Eveyone! Hope you all and your birds are doing great.

Sadly, I report that my flock of Barnevelders is up for sale, if anyone is interested you can contact me via PM or email. I also have the flock listed over in the BST section of BYC with further information.

Thanks guys! I actually really like him, he is watchful of the girls but respectful of me and my daughter. We got rid of his dad because he hated my daughter.

Pinkchick, I am sorry you are getting rid of your flock. Good luck!
