    We have been breeding the silvers for ten years and have just started last year with the double silver double blue. If you take a look at the last 2 birds in this article it will show you what they should look like. https://www.barnevelders.net/poultry/What-do-show-barnevelders-look-like

    The blue gene mutation of the black and you always have 2, either black/black - blue/blue - black/blue or blue/black depending on the breed you start with other genes effect the outcome, sometimes considerably. Buff is a colour, as in buff orpington and is sometimes used incorectly

    Maybe someday people will stop believing you can sex barnevelders by the colour of the breast as chicks.

    I would say the top 2 are boys. How did the breeder sex them?

    Makes sense now. How close you get back to barnevelder depends on how good the male is to start with. Do marans in the USA have feathery legs. It's a dominant trait. Also certain leg colours are dominant and you may not be able to reproduce the yellow legs of the barnevelder. Have you got a...

    Am I correct in thinking that you are trying to breed true barnevelders. Using a legbars is a very bad idea as the crest is dominant as is the egg colour. Also barnevelder males are single laced and the ccl is barred. Barred hens line bred to a single male are more likely to produce a...

    I have spent quite a while documenting how undercolour affect offspring and the quality of the lacing in adults. Barny chicks undergo 3 partial and 1 full moult before maturity and the feathers of the chicks don't really tell you much. It is way to long to publish here but if you take a...

    The lacing is indistinct and I can see why you asked about peppering. But the bird is a lovely shape with nice legs and a good stance. The comb is medium to fine which is good for a barnevelder. 5 points is preferred. Remember it depends on where in the world you are. The standards are different...
