He’s very pretty! Do you have updated pictures of #10 or #11 too?They came out pretty nice looking! Here he is all grown up
No, I didn't reach out to the breeder. Mostly b/c its a big island, but very small community; I don't want to make any ripples. I did elect not to order from them again and instead import from Greenfire Farms to build the rest my core flock though.Definitely Wyandotte x Barnevelder crosses. My first thought when I saw the comb was that a BLRW fathered the chicks or vice versa. Did you reach out to the breeder at all?
Awesome, thank you! I hope to breed more, trying combinations of the 2 pure hens and roos. I'll look to bring in some new blood from GFF, or other, in the future too.He looks pure Barnevelder to me, despite the leakage. I only ever had the gold variety, so I'm not 100% if that's normal in the silver variety.
I agree that he looks like a pure barnevelder, but possibly mixed variety (silver laced x double laced?) meaning he could have a copy of the gold gene. Or it could just be autosomal red.No, I didn't reach out to the breeder. Mostly b/c its a big island, but very small community; I don't want to make any ripples.

5 of the 7 roos were definitely hybrids. Two I am hopeful are real Barnies though. 2 of 5 hens have good double lacing all over, no red leakage, straight combs, etc.
May I ask- does this roo look like a pure Barnie or another hybrid to you? He does have some leaky red...
Edit: I think this may be #10 or #11 from the original pictures.
