I also have 6 Barnie girls from Andy, from his two different breeding pens. As well as two pure Johan girls (from Johan) that are a bit younger than Andy's. Hopefully I will get some nice chicks in the Spring. I will have to take some pics of the girls and put them up as well. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate the response.

I'd love to see the egg color as well as the pullets.

Here are a few pics of my Barnevelder girls. All are from hatching eggs from Andy except for last pic which is a younger girl from one of my Johan eggs. Let me just say that these aren't the greatest pictures because these girls just did not want their pictures taken this morning and again they are from my phone. I am pleased with the definition/clear pattern in their feathers and I really don't know much about tail angle so not sure if it is good or not but overall I am happy with them all. Also had to through in the dust bath (mulch batch really) pic as I just love watching them in the dust bath trance they seem to go into. The older girls hatched in early April.

How's her egg color?

It was stated by another breeder here that if you perfect the lacing, you will lose the egg color.



Happy Chooks, here is her egg.

Books in Australia are very expensive. My Aunt lives in Tasmania and she was telling me it's $25 for a paperback and over $50 for a hard cover.
