That is a nice looking one. I did not have a blue laced Barnevelder yet. I really do like them and actualy they are already a few years on the wish list. But until now i did not found a breeder who is willing to sell them as day old chicks.

I can agree on that one. It is now like most of the time the case as well with these mixed breed chicks. I had it as well before with other sex linked chicks.

They look beautifull i am really curious how they will look fully grown. Indeed with the lacing especialy on 1 hen the lacing came through. I see you have as well a Barnevelder chick walking around. I live about 15 minutes drive from the town of Barneveld where they originaly from.

That is correct. The one chick that is the rooster had as well a slightest headspot. Actually it was better to see on the pictures than in real. The pictured rooster chick is indeed second from the top and as well the fifth picture from the top.

These pictures are from last week And these pictures are from the weeks before

Hello, it was actualy the same case for us. The rooster became at 4 week more clearer by growing a bigger comb. If i really start investigating the pictures maybe the hens had a better and more clearer chipmunk pattern at 1 day old but not a real big difference. We ended up with all the chicks...

I see in number 4 a Barnevelder

I had a few years back exactly the same. And it was aswell with Bielefelders. For us it was the heating plate to low and it scratched there back open. And i can see you are using the same heating plate as me. I always make sure they can touch the heating plate with there back but they dont need...

Many thanks for your reply. I will just proceed with the B complex. Is it also wise to give some nutri drench as an extra?

The chick is improving a lot. Today the leg is a lot more stable than yesterday. How long is it best to continue with the B complex 1/4 tablets? It took 1.5 week before we got this result.

We came back from the vet. According him everything is on the correct place. He thinks it is because it got stretched out to much and he expect it will solve itself. He gave a painkiller and i need to keep a close eye how she is doing the comming days.

Many thanks for the answers. I dont feel any diferences between the left and the right joint. I will go this afternoon to our vet so he can have a look if this is maybe the case.

Today it looks like she is still improving. Now the only problem is she is not stable on her right leg that was actualy her best leg. It looks like it is getting straight or wobly at her knee joint. Not wobbly side ways but for standing not stable. It gets overstretched a little and than...

Many thanks for your reply i will continue the tablets. On one of the pictures she just got enough strength to keep standing. That was not possible when it started. When she will start walking she will stumble over her toes. Most of the time she sits like the other pictures. We are now exactly...

Hello all, I have a 4 week old Bielefelder what is having problems with walking. The problems started on the day she became 3 weeks old. The days before she was a bit slower than her sisters but no problems with walking. The legs where paralysed and it moved by dropping and flapping her wings...
