Supposed to be Barnevelder...

[Overoberyl]

But I'm not convinced...they seem awfully light. What do you all think? Any chance these are actually Barnevelders? If not, what breed do you think they might be?

Thanks!!

the dark w/ the stripes on the backs makes it look like a barnevelder...though the rest of the body looks a little light. I think its probably a barnevelder though

The baby in my avatar is a barnevelder from meyers

 

[Overoberyl]

Is the pic recent? Is it feathering in much darker?

 

[Smoochie]

Looks like it to me.

So cute!

It actually was sickly and passed away when it was a few days old.

The eyes and stripe are very similar to yours, though, I think you have barnevelders

Where did you get them? They are very light.


These are my barnevelder chicks. (breeder lines)



Ignore the mottled java in this picture:

I got them from an individual, that was what I expected them to look like...and I have a couple of others that have hatched from the same bunch of eggs that look just like that...but three that are light like the ones I posted, so that's why I was wondering if perhaps a different breed got mixed in my group of eggs by mistake...the eggs were medium brown, a few were speckled so I thought maybe Welsummer if not Barnevelder, but these chicks look light even to be a Welsummer to me...hmm

Yes, they are too light for a welsummer chick too. Post more pictures of them when they feather out. Now I'm curious.
