I won a rarebreeds auction for Black Coppers and Double Lace Barnevelders from Fancy Chicks (Rocking Paints). I believe I have 1 blue male and 2 blue females and 2 black females. I initially had no intention of keeping the Barnies as I only wanted the BCMs but am re-thinking whether I should or not. What is their temperament like? And what should the egg color look like if it were 'good' or close to? They are about 6 weeks old now. I will try reading up on the thread as I have time but what should I be looking out for at this juncture that would denote the quality of the birds I have ? I have had a few unsolicited emails complimenting this breeders birds when I had them up for sale here on BYC (local only with no shipping and I had no takers so I decided to grow them out a bit). The boy is always one of the first to come take treats from my hand so you know how that goes. Thanks.
