I got 2 barnevelder chicks for my broody silver laced Wyandotte hen and they’re pulleys now!

They’re so big and cute!

I love barnevelders and all of the others on this forum are so pretty and I can’t wait till mine are all big as hens.

here are my two Barnevelders. I'm hoping they're pullets but they are only 8 weeks... they are very sweet.

Here's Janet the Barnevelder who lives at my house. She's moulting right now, so she's not looking her best. But she's still gorgeous in my (possibly biased) opinion.

Hello fellow Barnie lovers!! After researching this wonderful breed I purchased 2 for my flock as day olds. Unfortunately one was a gold laced Wyandotte which has turned out to be a beautiful and awesome pullet. The other one is a blue Barnevelder and she is starting to come into nice color. Bunny Blue is her name, she is the most flighty and skittish out of my entire flock. I spend many hours daily with my chicks and even my accidental Roo, a WFBS is a lap chicken but not Bunny. She will climb up and sit in my legs but freaks out if I try to pet her. I think she’s going to be a beauty and I love her the way she is. Here she is about 2 weeks ago bout 7 weeks or so old. The other is Tammy Wyandotte the GLW

I am DEFINITELY planning on getting some for the colors and eggs! If I get to it this year lol
All of your birds are beautiful! Would someone post a picture of their eggs? That’s the main reason I want some to add some gorgeous colors to our cartons in the future.
I’m thinking of cooper Marans but wanting to know what their eggs look like.
Thank you!

@Chicka_deee Here are 2 photos for color. The first is the ones I put in the incubator last night. The 6 to the left of the line are Barnevelders, they very in color a bit and some have lots of speckles. Those are from 2 of my barnies, the 3rd on lays lighter colored eggs. The dark one to the right are BCM eggs so you can compare how dark they are.

The second is a basket of lots of our eggs so you can compare to other shades and colors.
