Silver Barnevelder?

[Randy]

Let me guess. Only in Europe, right?

Somone please tell me if they can be bought here.

Thanks.

Nope they do not have them here at all. These are rare chickens even our in europe.

Noooooooooooooo!

I have been thinking about how to make the color here in the US and you could make it with silver laced and silver pencilled.

Better use good double laceds also. Then you know that you have all ingredients in case the geneticists are wrong...

Good point.

Are you just wanting the color or the color and breed?

 

[cybercat]

Might you be refering to the blue laced Barnevelder? I have not even seen a silver listed for this breed as a color.

I produced silver double laced by crossing silver laced over a white cornish that was covering a dark cornish heritage.

Hi all -

I know this is an older post but wanted to let you know that we have Silver Double Laced Barnevelders -- and what's more is they are the much sought after Standard size (aka Large Fowl) and not the Bantam size. The Standard size is even more ultra ultra rare than the Bantam size. To compare sizes, Bantams are usually around 1 pound but our Standards can be up to 8-9 lbs.
