I love the greenish lacing on their feathers. I have heard that Barnevelders do exceptionally well in cold climates. What do you think, based on experience?
My Barnie eggs are not as dark as I expected but my girls came from Ideal, not a breeder. They're darker than any of my other girls' eggs. I love them just the same.
These originally came from Ideal, but I am working on improving the stock. Their egg laying ability is not very good, and they are not very hardy either.
