Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

Some more pics to share. I took some pics while I was cleaning the coop today. It was sunny and mild compared with the heavy rains we've been having.

Another shot of my light blue pullet.

A dark blue pullet I haven't really posted many pics of yet. She is double laced, but a bit "mossy". I think she has the best tail set and type of the four. Her legs are yellow, but not bright yellow

She is beautiful. I would love to have a flock of thoses.

The chest color didn't work for me. I had 2 grey chests & 2 white chests. 1 Grey was boy & 1 grey very much girl almost no crown. The 2 white chests developed crowns but no wattles so I was confused. I traded a lady these 2 white chests & the very much boy for 2 for sure pullets. She said she was pretty sure those white chests were girls but I didn't want to chance it. So I only got 1 out of 4 that fallowed this color test.

Well it may be that some lines of Barnies are not sexable this way, I am not sure. Did you end up getting more than one pullet after you traded?

Only took 30 weeks and 2 days, but I FINALLY got a barnevelder egg today! Nice color for a first egg and a really good size too. I think it was Trisha's girl as she was the one really checking out the nest boxes the past couple of days.

Only 2 more freeloaders to go - 1 barnevelder and 1 welsummer.
