Barnevelder breeders lets work together and improve the breed

Hi Andy Which blue roo do you like..the dark or the light?

I tried to get a picture of them standing together, but they had other ideas

The darker one does have much darker hackles and saddle. He just shines in the sunlight. I think I like his wing set better too..a little tighter and closer to the body.









My oldest (but still a "baby") pure cockerel...last son of my roo that I lost this year. He doesn't like his picture taken so he's always on the move.

He seems like a nice boy, but really needs to do some growing and get his tail in.


Two blue hens out trying to scrounge some of the first new green growth. I hope once it greens up around here that their leg color will come back a bit. Everyone had really nice yellow legs, until I penned them up and they didn't have any green grass to eat.

Trisha, I not only droll over your chickens, but I love your space. You have some lucky chickens!!! Your chickens all seem so happy and healthy.

Quote: LOL, thanks. They do have quite a bit of land to roam on when I do let them out to free range. We have about 7.6 acres, but they tend to stay down by the coop. They are out today, because we're doing chores all day outside. They are loving all the tender new grass/greens that has started to come up from the rains. I have probably 2 maybe 3 times the number of birds I usually do....just hatched too many this year

. I keep saying I'll thin them down, but so many look good it's hard to decide.

yeah, you have an impressive flock, I could see how it would be hard to thin.

Here is the rooster I kept. But now I'm not sure I want to breed barnevelders next year, so I may put him on Craigslist.

Here's a silver barnie video. You might want to use the HD setting to see the detail of the lacing.

Hopefully someone will get some good ones in large fowl too.
