    Barnevelder Temperament

    I have 10 birds and all of them but my 2 Barnevelders (pullet and cockerel) will eat from my hand. The Barnevelders seem to be incredibly skittish. So many people on forums reviewed Barnevelders to be very friendly with a few skittish comments here and there. My question is, do even the most...

    Is my 8 week old Barnevelder a cockerel?

    Hello all. I have an 8 1/2 week old Barnevelder that I got from a hatchery and have a feeling it is a cockerel. Its sister (Barnevelder) doesn't even have its wattle and the comb is so much smaller. Would appreciate some help here. I am new to this!

    New to Chickens and want advice on breeding

    Hello all and am excited to make my first post. I have 10 8 week old hens (2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Golden Buffs, 2 Cream Legbars, and 2 Barnevelders).

    The Flower Flock

    I thought it would be interesting to keep progress pictures of my chicks, since A.) I'm obsessed with everything they do, and B.) I'm curious about how my Easter Eggers will change. :D I bought the first four flower girls 4 weeks ago, and the second group 2 weeks ago. Excuse the double...

    Barnevelder or Welsummer??

    I’ve got 3 chickens that were supposed to be barnevelder pullets when we bought them. I’m thinking they may be welsummer Roos. Is anyone able to tell these two breeds apart? I will attach pics. Pretty positive number 1 is a rooster but I’m new to this so I’m curious about 2 and 3. Definitely...

    Can you sex silver laced Barnevelder by their white chests?

    Wondering if white chest is a sign of cockerel in silver laced Barnevelder or if that’s a myth? This one’s around 3 weeks old.

    Barnevelder or barnevelder cross?

    Last spring I purchased a few barnevelder chicks from a hatchery. I recently purchased a few young barnevelder hens from someone and they look more true to breed than my previous hen. I attached a few pictures of her. Could she be crossed with something else? If so, what? Or is she a different...

    Double Laced Silver Barnevelders

    My quad of DLS Barnevelders that I bought a few months ago are almost 19 weeks.. when should I be able to tell if they are cockerels or pullets? At what point/age do you cull for lacing? This breed is completely new for me. I know that with other laced breeds the older they are, the crisper...

    Tracking Down the Owner of an Egg

    Yesterday, while I had the misfortune of working away from home, one of my baby chicks layed an egg. :hit They grow up so fast, don’t they? I wasn’t quite expecting an egg at exactly 18 weeks. But lo and behold, last night when I got home I immediately went out to their house to do a quick head...

    Need assistance from Barnevelder experts, PLEASE!!

    Please advise if these are actually Blue laced Barnevelder chicks. I just hatched these out from shipped eggs and now I'm reading that they should have yellow legs, and the eggs I hatched these from were pale brown not dark!!!!
