barnevelders

A thread for me to post pictures, other random thoughts and updates on my breeding projects. I currently keep Buff Sussex, Barnevelders (Gold and Silver), silkies and showgirls in various colours. I'll start with the Sussex and add the others in seperate posts. All recent pictures show...

Thought it'd be fun to have a chat thread, I often feel weird posting in other people's chat threads 😅. As the title may suggest I have no intentions to keep this to a particular topic, it'll match my brain :D. I'll likely chat about and post photos of any of my animals, from my chickens to my...

I bought both chicks from a local feed store and wanted thoughts on my Barnevelders. The lacing in one is more pronounced than the other and just has more color in general. One is black with little lacing and the other is more colorful. I know their feathers are new and they’ll look different...

Hi all I just added a blue laced barnevelder pullet to my flock and I decided to get one because I’ve read that they are super docile but this one is super skittish and she pecks me(sadly I can’t return or exchange)… does anyone else have skittish ones or did I just get bad luck? I’m looking...

This is my Gold Laced Barnevelder who is 4 weeks old and i've been skeptical whether its a rooster or not. Please tell me if there are any indicators of its gender. The comb is pretty big for it's age but i don't know much about sexing chickens. Here are the pictures

Hi, I was wondering what breed and sex these two are ? We think they may be barnevelders!

I have a small flock of Barnevelder chicks around four weeks. One splash, one blue and the rest silver laced. I think two of them are cockerels due to their combs being a little bigger and have red. The feather patterns on them don’t look like what they should be as adults. Is the first batch...

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

Just wanted to join in the fun, my hubby is building a nice coop . Meanwhile, the chicklets are using one of our showers as a brooder. It’s working out great, no drafts, safe from our dog, run the ceiling fan for odor control. We have a heat lamp and a box with a heating pad on it. When they are...

This is my first time raising barnevelder chicks. They are from two genetic lines which also doesn’t help with sexing them against each other. I was sure they were both pullers from the speed they both were feathering up and the length of their wings at 10+ days. Wanted to see others opinions as...

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...

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!

So my little flock is ranging in age from 4.5-5.5 weeks and I do believe I have spotted two, possibly three, roosters in the bunch. I'll post pictures and videos as they age for the next few weeks and let you guys tell me what you think (I'll keep my suspicions to myself for now). Also any help...

I got some gorgeous Barnevelders and Silkies at the end of November. I've been brooding them in my house, but they're getting crowded in their brooder. I'm not sure when I can put them outside. The temps dip below freezing at night. They have a large Formex coop that they'll be going into...

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...

Hello, I live in Australia and I am wanting to rehome my two double silver laced barnevelder and possibly Plymouth Rock cockerels. If interested please reply!

Hi, I just got a straight run of silver double laced barnevelders and buff silkies from feather lover farms. They look great, but I'm sure I'm going to have some roosters. I'd love to give them a good home. If you know anyone who would be interested, please PM me...

New and rare Double Silver Laced Barnevelder babies available here, both bantam (miniature sized), and regular sized barnies. The breeders we have kept, are based on feather pattern sharpness primarily. The type is there, we are just working on improving the quality of the lacing at this point...
