Looking for pics of Blue Laced Barnevelders

[Fluster Cluck Acres]

A feed store near me is getting blue Laced Barnevelders in April. I did not even know this color variety existed (thought it was a typo- quick google search shows that it’s a real variety).

If you have some, I’d love to see pics- particularly of adult hens. Thanks!

Mageetah... She's beautiful especially in the sun, sometimes I see purple... But wow is she shy.... Pretty much a loner...

That looks like a regular Barnevelder to me?
She sure is beautiful though!

She's just a pullet in this picture, not laying yet, but indeed she came from Privett as a Blue Laced Barnevelder. I'm starting to wonder if they sent a regular Barnevelder now that you mention it, wow.......

Oh, huh. That's interesting. She does look like a regular one to me. Though I know most blue breeds come in blue, black, and splash. Maybe yours is just a black one if that's the case with barnevelders too.

I was planning on ordering some Blue Laced Barnevelders, but the company was sold out. They are gorgeous birds! Here are the photos on the company's website, I don't have any photos of my own (didn't know if that's what you wanted)

Looks like blue in barnevelders is the same as Andalusian blue. So breeding blue to blue would result in 50% blue, 25% splash, and 25% black.

@SandyRiverChick sometimes blue can be so dark that it looks black, but blue doesn't have the iridescent sheen like black does. I'd say your beautiful girl is a black BBS laced barnevelder.

Good to know, thanks!

She is gorgeous! I hadn’t thought about the black & splash factor. I am trying to order 4. Hopefully I’ll get at least 1 blue.

Would love to see some pics too! I've got 1 Blue Laced Barnevelder coming from Privett in May and would love to know what others have looked like! Their website has like a single photo.
