and How do I go about creating silver barnevelder?

[jan12]

I just wanted to say, nice work!!! They are progressing nicely. I'm looking forward to another update! Too bad I can't fast-forward time. Lol

Looks like the project is coming along pretty good... I been thinking about starting a similar project myself, still building breeding pens and getting brooders set up right now.. Any advice that you might pass on to me that you learned from your experiences?

Mixture of bantams.
I would say the bantam silvers have been much easier to see some results.. Still ages away of course... But using silver pencilled was way easier than silver laced... I started the bantams like 2-3 generations behind the large and now they are both at similar stages..

One in front is rose combed and looked very single laced as pullet... She's something like 3-4 generation.. Opposed to girls in background the would be another 3 generations or more on that

Breed lots. and lots. and cull lots. and maybe win the lotto if need be to feed them all? lol

Hi there folks,

We know this is an older post but wanted to let you know that we have Silver Double Laced Barnevelders -- and what's more is they are the much sought after STANDARD size (aka Large Fowl) and not the Bantam size. The Standard size is even more ultra ultra rare than the Bantam size. To compare sizes, Bantams are usually around 1 pound but our Standards can be up to 8-9 lbs.

I'm curious to see how things are progressing, as we are dedicated to this breed. Thank you, all!
