Broody Barnavelda eggs hatched on Friday morning. Out of 12 eggs, 10 hatched. 6 silver double laced Barnavelda chicks and 4 Golden Barnavelda double laced chicks. One (GB) yolker, one (GB) quitter.
Waited until this afternoon after slipping quitter under another broody but just candled...
Great confirmation. I’m watching carefully to check behaviours. Tomorrow is day 7 when I’ll be candling if I can get my hand under the Barnavelda who is a fiercely protective broody
Thankyou! Little chikkie is likely little rooster but is super cute. I suspect the real mum is the red or one of the barred rocks. Barnie the rooster is nearly 5 years old and is splendid on a sunny day when his green purple blue and red irridescence kicks in
