Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

[tammyd57]

Our eggs are in lockdown now. I candled and it looked to me like all 18 eggs are still good. One or two are a little bit iffy, but there's no smell or anything so I kept them all in. I'm kinda excited so I took photos. here's one:

I used strawberry baskets to separate the different lines so I'd know who everybody is at hatch and can band them right away.
The two in the left basket are the Cornevelder eggs, the two in the right basket are KC line and the rest are vB/Johan X vB.
(okay, so I'm a little redneck, I think the Gorilla tape I used to hold the glass window in the incubator lid just framed the eggs pic nicely,

)

Good luck

Trisha sent me eggs all the way to Maine and I had 8/10 make lockdown and all 8 hatched!

I'm so happy Steve had a good hatch since the eggs were shipped so far. Tammy.... What a great job you've done incubating the eggs I'm

for a good hatch for you too

Does anyone know the person in Opp, Alabama that is selling Barnevelder eggs?

Ok, here we go... 3 day old Barnies hatched from Trisha's eggs. Any guesses on gender Trisha?
#1 ???

#2 ???

#3 Pullet?

#4 Pullet?

#5 Roo?

#6 ???

#7 ???

#8 ??? Now that I look, this may not even be a Barnie. I have one OExWellie male (f2 Olive Egger) and this may be him... ???

THANKS...
Steve

#7 has to be a rooster, look at that stink eye! Looks like you for sure have a couple females.

 

[enggass]

Yeah... 3 & 4 look like pullets to me based on coloring... I'm hoping maybe a couple of the others are as well.

I'm new to Barnies. Have my first hen from FancyChick stock through another farmgirl locally (one side of the state to the other).

I will get a pick up soon AND I don't know what lines it would be from.

sounds like folks on this thread know what the different Barnie lines are in the us

If someone could give me a list, so I know where to go investigate them.

Still learning chickens, let alone breeds. So don't really understand much yet, except to feed, rake, gather eggs!

Cheers,
