Do they look like Barthuhner chicks?

Yes, sandiklaws! They look like barthuhners to me! The feathers, comb and leg coloring look spot on!!! Congrats

Interested in Part Bart - any one have juvie or adults available..maybe? Prefer POL pullets if possible but would consider other options including roo.

I am looking for breeders of the black variety; they seem to be the scarcer of the two color types to locate. Anyone know of any breeders?

 

[TNBEARCHICK]

We only have Partridge and I am unsure of anyone who has Black. Everyone I know of gave up on them.

I have a connection with the Blacks, Ive not seen them in person but going to look at them in a few days...Does anyone on here sell eggs?

A shame there aren't more breeders of the black, actually I haven't seen any advertised. I have a single male partridge barthuhner from GF in 2013. In 2014 we ordered four chicks hoping for females for him, and 3/4 were roosters and the pullet later died (only one of the flock that did). So we're on the hunt for more!

He's a great rooster. He's easy to pick up, and lets the hens have all the good food.

Does anyone else's roosters have weird spurs? His are small and actually curl on the end.
