I'll be needy, lol.
The barnevelders are more my hubby's project as he looovvves them. I am trying to learn what correct "type" is right now, so we can work towards the standards for the breed. You guys have helped me so much, I knew you all would give good feedback.
Yes, I believe they are double laced, with some having better lacing then others. I have 7 pullets (5-6 month old) and one roo (5 months). I bought 3 of my pullets and my roo from a breeder (goes by Cowgirlgrace on here) from Gig Harbor at a day old. She had beautiful birds. They were Kelly Cratty lines (I think this is from Christina Ledford?). I then lucked out and was able to buy 4 pullets from Kummer Poultry Farm. He is considered by many to be one of the top 5 barnie breeders in the country. Lucky me as he lives in the neighboring town. He was soooo nice and helpful. I learned alot in only 2 hours and am very thankful for his time.
I have many different breeds of chickens, many close to nice flocks now. The tough part is deciding how to focus our time (and money
). I like them all, lol. We know the barnes will be keepers. We also have coronations/ Split coros, b/b/s orps, buff orps, lav orps, bcm and blrw. I think the silkies (we only have a few) and large fowl b/b/s cochins and silver phoenix (we have a nice trio of each) will be sold. My olive eggers(when they are big enough and if they are girls) will end up with my bcm flock and then I have about 25 assorted layers as well (all hatchery birds).
Our goal is under 100 birds by by September....its hard as most we hatched and raised from chicks. I have better pics of the barnies lacing I will post.
Sorry for babbling so much.
