Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

A nice picture from the Dutch barnevelder club. They are calling 2013 the "year of the Barnevelder" and are having a big show Nov 8-9 in Barneveld- Holland.



The "stylized" ideal standard:

a promising young blue cockerel

"Pretty Boy" splash cockerel. Very sweet boy, nice head. I don't know if he'll get as big as his huge splash brother though.


nice head





a nice blue pullet, good size on her, ok lacing. I picked her out of her hatch mates because of her size. I have about 50+ pullets to choose from still.


This is my favorite roo. He has a lot more body/meat to him, good balanced color, tight and high wing set, and very wide back/breast


My second roo (pardon the scruffy look he was dirt bathing after the rain). Mostly Johan blood. I like his wide full tail because it has been passing down to his daughters. He looks big but doesn't carry a lot of meat. Wing carriage could be higher, but Johans usually have lower wing sets.




He has a nice wide back and saddle area.

I like the last boy here.

Your splash boy has a nice back sweep. So does the blue boy.

Have you done any showing yet I encourage all of us to show I would love to get these back in the spotlight. Showing and getting our birds out there can do wonders for the growth and popularity of the bred.

I plan on showing my blue barnies and splash

I got the phone call Sunday that they hatched. Picked them up Monday afternoon.
Here's my Fossil Rock barnies. Thanks so much to Donna. She has some really nice looking birds there.

Thanks Trisha. Yes, I am going for the laced breast in the males. That's what our SOP calls for and I'm gonna breed him back to some of his sisters that are RC/SC splits. I'm hoping I'll get a SC cockerel out of that with some nice lacing in the breast.

God Bless,

Quote: From my understanding they do in fact need to be yellow but not the bright yellow more of a creamier yellow with the red scaling on the back of the leg's in the cocks.

Pickledchicken, who or where did you get that from? Trisha's leg color is about as close to ideal as I've seen. The yellow leg gene is not only recessive but is sex-linked. That's why it can be so easily lost. Also, the red scaling on the back of the male's leg is acceptable but not desired.

God Bless,

Well I'll be... Guess I better start saving up to go to the homeland in November! Anybody wanna volunteer to come housesit a custom loghome and a couple hundred birds for a few weeks??

Btw, on the leg color issue, I read somewhere that betacaradine (sp?) is good for leg color so I start feeding my birds shredded carrots several weeks before a show. I've also read the marigold is good. Note to self... find out where to get marigold.

God Bless,

Hi Everyone, It's been quite some time since I've posted anything but I've been keeping us with the thread as much as I can. Been super busy with work and home stuff. I finally got a few standard Barnies hatched out but not near what I had planned. Been having terrible fertility problems this year with all my breeds. I don't know if it's the weather going from cool and rainy to warm and sunny and then back (Like today. And it rained so hard last night that it blew out my satellite TV signal.) or something else. Anyways, I found myself with a little extra time last night wondering what I should do before dark. So I went in and got the camera and took a few pics of my Barnie F2 RC cockerel and a F3 pullet. I'm trying something for the first time so I hope it works. Gonna see if I can load the pics as a movie. The main thing I wanted to point out is the Type for both and especially the lacing in the cockerel. I bred him back to some F2 and F1 females that I know are not homozygous for the RC and am hoping I'll get a decent SC male with nice lacing from him. I am really quite happy with him even though his RC isn't quite what it should be. Am hoping his progeny will be much better. Speaking of which, you'll notice the little RC pullet is looking pretty nice too. Good Type and nice lacing. (If I do say so myself! Sorry, hope I'm not sounding too prideful here.) But the one thing I wanted to get a shot of, I forgot all about. Hopefully, you'll be able to make out her RC well enough. It's much better than her Mom's. Well, neither of those worked so let me see if I can do this YouTube thing... God Bless, Royce

Really liking the looks of your rosé comb Barnies. They will be such a blessing for people who live where the combs get frozen, and yours are looking lovely for eye candy in anyone's flock. What a lot of work, looks like its paying off.
