Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

You shouldn't advertise an illegal importation, I am assuming you didn't go through the channels. You may not know it but you can get your " blankity blank" in a wringer if you get caught doing that. If you didn't know better, then you should probably keep it to yourself. Lets not mess up this thread with discussions of contraband.

If it was ok to get birds like that don't you think we would all be doing it already.

Well, if she did import illegally...I would also strongly advise against the practice. Illegal importing could cause serious health risks to all poultry owners flocks. Untested birds could carry and bring in diseases that could cause the gov to seize and kill off all poultry in that area. Some of the other UK members were talking about recent outbreaks too.

It's not just vaccinating day- old chicks. Imported birds or parent stock of hatching eggs need to be inspected before being imported. There is a lot of fees, paperwork, testing and Quarantine procedures at approved ports of entry. It is all needed to keep USA poultry safe from disease. This is why imported birds sell for so much and the rest of us work for years with our own projects when importing isn't an option.

Illegal importing can also result in fines

If it will make you feel any better, I could send you some barnie hatching eggs early this fall. That way you could get re- started with some decent USA barnie stock. Just let me know.

Thanks! im not sure what breeder there from but the adults they came from looked similar to the bantams only there bigger like the standards, my good friend lives out there in the UK now and moved from Utah were im at, and i asked her to send me some

but again no baby chicks to see, i did try to make them but the waiting on them to grow up and redoing it omg takes forever lol.. i used a barnevelder roo with my penciled rock hen and my pencil laced wyandotte but when the babies were 6 month the neighbors dog got into my coop, i cried for days but now ill do the easier way and just buy them with my new inforced coop!!

Oh geez, I'm so naive, I just assumed they came in legally. We always talked about bringing some in illegally and the different ways we could smuggle them in but it was always just a joke! It sounds like you honestly didn't know it was illegal, I can see how that could happen.

I could not be anymore upset/mad. Two days ago I switched two of my pens around. One my Barnie birds and the other BLRW. This was also the first time I let my barnies out into their separate run. Everything seemed fine that night.

The next morning my dad texted me when i was at work and said 5 of your babies are died. I went out there when I got home. Apparently three of them got into the BLRW pen and they killed them. The other two were dead in their Barnie pen.

As I opened the coop I notice that there isn't that many chicks(fully feathered but still little) I start counting and there is only 9. I originally had 19 babies. 5 were killed, that means that 5 are just GONE. I can't believe it!

I purchased three barnvelder chicks- one didn't make it and I tried so very hard. I finally had to decide that I was prolonging its suffering and let it go. Anyway here are my other two babies hatched May 7th. They both have tail feathers, and shoulder feathers, and look very similar except one is darker brown and the other is light. Muffin is the light one. Chocolate is the darker. What do you think? Both girls?
