Barnevelder Double Laced Blue?

[Desert_Fox]

Hi guys.
Sometime ago, i incubated several Barnevelder eggs, suposedly double laced blue. 5 Chicks were born.
3 of them like the two on the front, and 2 like the ones in the back.

They grew, and their diferences started to become obvious.
The breeder who sold me the eggs, says they are all Barnevelder double laced blue, but last two are Blue Splash because they got a diferent mutation.
Does that makes any sence to you?

Yes, it does make sense. I think. Maybe.
The breeder likely doesn't know what they mean. But I agree that those are all the same color. The main difference between them is 3 are males, lol.

Realy? I thought i had one rooster and all the others were chickens, the one in the left is bigger than the others, and is the only one who crows

Nope, three males. The males are quite obvious with their giant combs, shiny feathers, and bright patterns.

That is why they look different. It is the difference in gender.

Three males. The others are pullets. They're all chickens

Also splash comes from bluexblue pairs. So it's very possible they thought that just breeding blues would get just blue offspring

Is it possible to have a hen, whcih the same color patern as the roosters?

There are 3 males and 2 females. But they show very little lacing. The two hens should show the same amount of lacing as a blue or black double laced, just with a lighter ground color. So either the parents were low quality or there was some mixing going on. They are very pretty, though.

Agree with others, 3 males 2 females.
