Has anyone heard of a Barn Builder breed of chicken?

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 

A friend of mine says they are a great laying breed, I can't find any info on them on the web-site, can anyone direct me to some info on them?

He probably meant barnevelder... wink

ETA:  and you should be able to find information on them if you click on the "breeds" link at the top...
And welcome to the forum smile

Caretaker of a lovely mixed flock including: australorp, plymouth rocks, wyandotte, d'uccles, silkies, EEs, andalusian, and a few seramas, plus a golden retriever, great dane, and three cats.  I always swore that I wouldn't succumb to chicken math.  I lied.

If you do find some "barn builder" chickens, send them my way.  They can build all the barns they want for me lol  and I'll feed them a good "wage."
