Looking for pics of Blue Laced Barnevelders

[Fluster Cluck Acres]

Here’s one of my cockerel. You can’t tell until they start feathering out. I have 2 incubators going with eggs all from my blue rooster so I get some blues!!!!View attachment 3812031

He’s pretty! How old?

I know how the B/B/S genetics work and I’ve seen photos of splash Barnevelders but I’m working towards the SOP for my standards so splash is something I avoid! Do you have photos?

Yeah- it’s 30 days old. Beautiful temperament too.

 

[Jayteetee]

Not yet. Waiting to hear from the store. Hopefully today or tomorrow!

yes, hopefully soon! I want to see

Is this one a splash?

They're here! I have 4 cuties (never mind that sneaky little Welsummer who photo bombed). Each one looks different, which is kind of neat. Two have noticably blue down on their sides/wings, but the other two are less noticable. Based on my knowledge of B/B/S breeding, I assume that it's possible to get traditional black barnies as well.

they are adorable!! Do they come sexed?

 

[Jayteetee]

I’m not actually sure if it’s splash or light sussex. I’ll have to wait for a full feather out!

Is this one a splash?

Thank you! And yes, they should all be pullets. They're named for the weather today- Hazy, Cloudy, Misty, and Foggy.

I'm over the moon for my blue barnvelders! They are almost 8 weeks old now. This is the 4 of them along with some BYM chicks.

Here is my surprise cockerel, Cloudy. His blue is of the darker shade, and he has a lot of lacing. He's one of the more skittish of the 4. While he's curious and interested in what people are doing, he prefers not to be interacted with. He loves snacks and has figured out that humans = snacks, so he's warming up.

This is Misty. I think she's the prettiest. She has a solid red chest and A LOT of light - almost powder - blue coloration. I'm not sure if the photos really do her justice. Misty is fairly friendly. She likes to interact and tolerates being held.

This is Foggy. She looks similiar to Misty. They both look to be developing red or brownish heads. Foggy doesn't have quite as much light blue feathering, but she has a lot more patterning and she's also a little more skittish like Cloudy. This first pic is Misty (L) and Foggy (R).

And here are more pics of Foggy:

And my favorite... is Hazy. I don't think she's the prettiest (yet) but she is a complete love! Her blue is more slate so it's less distinct and she doesn't have as much lacing as the others. Her head/neck look like it's going to be slate blue. She is so sweet and affectionate and has absolutely stolen both my heart and Hubs heart. She likes to sit in your lap and chit chat in the sweetest way.

Here's Hazy (L) and Misty together so you can see how different they are.

I would love to see how your blue Barnies are doing @Jayteetee and @My Three Chicks
