I am still working on my Barnevelder flock. I currently only have one rooster, the standard fowl gold double laced. Unfortunately, my double silver laced rooster died, and I am looking for a replacement. I have two questions:
1. What will the progeny of a gold rooster crossed on silver hens...
I'm looking for standard size Barnevelder hatching eggs, show quality if at all possible. I need silvers and gold double laced. Thank you! Located in North Texas but will buy shipped eggs. 971-287-0530 texts are fine.
I have the following hens:
Barnevelder
Blue Barnevelder
Silver Barnevelder
French Black Copper Marans
Buff Orpington
Deathlayers (silver and gold)
And the following roosters:
Barnevelder
Silver Barnevelder
French Black Copper Marans
All the roosters mate with the hens as they have acres to...
Update- My Blue Barnevelders are beginning to mate the barnyard mix hens and are fighting over them. I have to decide which one to keep. Which one of these is the best representation of a Blue Laced Barnevelder?
Yes, wondering if these are worth trying to make better or do I consider them a loss and buy better quality? Not necessarily looking for show quality but good examples of their breeds would be nice.
I have Blue Barnevelders, Silver Barnevelders and Black Copper Marans that I'm getting ready to breed. I have hens and roosters of all three. I love my little flock of Silver Barnevelders and my Marans. I'm not so sure about my Blue Barnevelders, I think their coloring/lacing could be much...
They are out during the daytime. They get the run of the yards. Inside at night and during bad weather. They will come running and jump up on my hand. They love being in the cage, but when they get bigger they will go in a proper coop. My Barnevelder and BCM pullets are already in coops, and I...
We have house chickens. We like them much better than parakeets or parrots. We know the black one is a Polish (and we are guessing a rooster) but we don't know what breed our sweet little hen is. Anyone know?
I had 12 silver laced Barnevelder eggs in my Nuture Right 360. One hatched on day 21, five hatched on day 22 and one zipped and stopped late on day 22 (last night). I went to bed and when I got up early morning to feed the bottle baby goats, it had not progressed and the membrane had thickened...
Located in North Texas and assembling my bucket-list flock for my new homestead. Searching for the blue and silver laced varieties of Barnevelders as well as the standard color. Please call or text me at 971-287-0530. Thank you
Looking to start a small (10 ea hens + 1 rooster ea) family farm flock of Black double and Blue double laced Barnevelders. I am located in NorthEast Texas and can travel a few hours or ship. Chicks or larger birds, even mature hens, will be warmly welcomed.
Hi, I live in town and have a small backyard flock I am putting together. It is hens only. I need hens that are relatively quiet, docile and friendly. Nothing spooky or flighty. And of course pleasing to the eye.
This is what I am planning: I already have a Buff Orpington, two Black Copper...
