    molting/protein?

    Unless tofu is organic, it is genetically modified. I've been supplementing with scratch, oats, yogurt, and sunflower seeds.

    Review by '' on item 'Barnevelder'

    I started out with two Barnevelder hens and the next year ordered a third, which was supposed to be a roo. Surprise! He's now laying too. One of my girls went broody three times her first year, and layed sporadically until winter. Her sister layed somewhat more frequently the first year, but...

    Of all my hens, she is the only one who will not let me touch her. She also made my new chicks lives hell when they were introduced to the flock. She is lovable nonetheless. She has layed an egg a day since her point of lay, even during the winter, without supplemental lighting. She loves to...

    Of all my hens, she is the friendliest, and loves it when I rub her back and neck, even in the nest box. Not easily excited. Highly recommend this breed to anyone.

    DLB hens seek Barnevelder Rooster for love match near Boise, Idaho

    Three Double-laced Barnevelder Hens seek a year-old Barnevelder rooster for love match. The girls like long walks in the garden, dust baths in the sun and free-ranging the yard for tasty tidbits. Willing to share with the EE and RIR also in residence. Can be pet or show quality, preferably...

    Chicken Names- whats your chickens name?

    Such clever names for such adorable chooks! My late SLW (my avatar) was Guinevere; EE is Sheena; RIR is Rhodie; Barnevelders are Henrietta and Eggnes; and the soon to arrive chicks: SLW - Greta or Gwen, depending on her personality; Barnevelder roo - Henri.

    DLB Hens seek Barnevelder Rooster for love match near Boise, Idaho.

    Sorry I haven't responded earlier, have been looking at puppies. Would be honored to take one of your faverolle roos, but am really interested in raising some Barnevelder chicks and getting darker eggs. The blue roo sounds awesome. Wish I could help you out. Good luck and Happy Spring. Cee

    I'm jealous - your coop is sooo beautiful. Love, love, love the swooping roof. You have some lucky chicks. Great job!

    Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

    Am getting a Barnevelder roo chick this May to eventually breed with my Barnevelder hens. My hens lay medium to dark brown eggs, although they are not as dark as the Marans or Welsummers eggs that I've seen pictured. Hope to improve that through breeding. Will see. The girls seemed to handle...
