Royce.... I'd be happy to talk barnies or wellies anytime! Check out the barnevelder thread - we're talking about it there too.

I don't want to hijack the welsummer thread and discuss it here.

..if we think about it...we are not too far off topic if we talk about Barnies a little in the Wellie thread......the 2 breeds are closely related. If we didn't have one...then we wouldn't have the other.

Me loves me some Barnies and some Wellies........ALot-Alot-Alot-ALot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alrighty then - Royce, here is what Trisha said about the lines of barnies. She's been working on them for several years now.

I only hatched 1 Johan cockerel that was culled for another reason. I believe Trisha's stock is a combination of vb/cratty and a little johan. Then I also hatched pure vb lines. I plan to add more johan stock.

Soon I should have 4 girls that are laying and I can't hatch every single egg.

Would you test some when they are laying steady? I would love to share them with you Kelly.

These are a couple of my Welsummers. The Cockerel just started crowing yesterday. He gurgles when he crows. The cockerel hatched around June 1. These pullets were around May 1.
