Barnevelder Love!

[Bound to Sea]

Hi, I bought my first Barnevelder this year from a hatchery as a sexed pullet. I know they are hard to sex so I thought this was the easy way. I don't think so. So cute, I named her Dottie. Thoughts? 14 weeks old now.

I'm pretty sure those are both dudes.

It’s so frustrating when that happens! This year seems awful for mislabelled pullets Definitely a roo

Thank you. Two of my 6 pullets ended up being roos. It does suck! Lol!

Now to decide if I keep him. Heard they can be nice roosters?

Right now I’m giving most a chance, but did cut down unnecessary ones out because of feed costs. Keeping a BCM, Welsummer, two Polish, a D’Uccle, a bantam Cochin, and a silkie. Regret selling one of the silkies though… Which is still a lot My laying pen also has the neighbour’s roo that moved himself in!

Poppy - our little Barnevelder girl who has been with us since she was one-week-old. We had to return her brothers.

She’s a funny little one. Follows the leader and always last to arrive.

That's awesome! Future will be looking for a Polish and bantam Cochin. Love my Silkie! Yes feed costs is an issue.... Don't really need a roo.
