hello i have been breeding barnevelders since january and i’m not sure why this has occurred and i don’t even know how to explain i will upload pictures tomorrow. i have got a splash rooster and double silver laced hens and every time i hatch i get blue laced red barnevelders, for whatever...
6 weeks hen or roo. this is turtle a six week old Barnevelder chick i am not sure why he has got no lacing he came from a silver laced barnevelder hen and splash barnevelder roo. turtle has siblings 1 week younger i will show images of them if you want but i just need too know their gender...
Hen or roo? I’m in denial she might be a he. These are all about 10 weeks and wondering about the Barnevelder on the far right. S/he had a loud scratchy chuckle this morning scared us all 🤣
I've long since had suspicions about this little Mrs., but wanted to ask ya'lls opinions. This is my first supposed Barnevelder so I didn't really know what to expect, but I have heard that Barnevelders are suppose to be big birds weighing around eight pounds. Now this may be wrong, but this...
I took this photo with my iPhone using the stage light option in portrait mode. The subject is Peanut Butter my “miniature” (because she’s not a bantam) Barnevelder.
G'day everyone from (not so) sunny Queensland, Australia. Big thank you for letting me join your online community. My wife and I have a 1 acre block and currently have 3 laying hens (ex-cage Hyline commercial layers) and recently acquired 6 pullets. 2 Welsummer, 2 Polish, Blue laced Barnevelder...
Are you crazy like me and just like to fawn and love on your chicken babies? Here’s my 4 month old pullets in central Texas! There’s 7 total (1 barnevelder, 2 speckled Sussex, 1 Rhode Island blue, 1 blue Plymouth, 2 Easter eggers)
Video of them having some wet pellets before it gets too hot...
Hi, I have 3 Double Silver Laced Barnevelder that I hatched about 7 weeks ago, I’m wondering if anyone can tell if they are pullets or cockerels yet. I’m hoping for at least one hen. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

Hi my name is Brandon, I have a small farm in Ontario Canada between London & Windsor, if any of you are breeding barnevelders please feel free to get in contact with me!!
Just wanted to share my new mama Marguerite and how getting her to adopt some babies went. She went broody for the first time a few weeks ago and we just happened to have new babies coming from McMurray in exactly 21 days so we thought we’d try to get her to adopt the new layers. We weren’t able...
I bought both chicks from a local feed store and wanted thoughts on my Barnevelders. The lacing in one is more pronounced than the other and just has more color in general. One is black with little lacing and the other is more colorful. I know their feathers are new and they’ll look different...
I like taking pictures, so this is where I'll share some of them :p
This is Spices doing some exploration before returning to her nest of eggs.
This is Thor asking why I am looking at his girl. Thor's my nosy supervisor who always checks what I am doing.
Some of my babies.
I'll add...
Hi all I just added a blue laced barnevelder pullet to my flock and I decided to get one because I’ve read that they are super docile but this one is super skittish and she pecks me(sadly I can’t return or exchange)… does anyone else have skittish ones or did I just get bad luck? I’m looking...
Hello everyone,
Yesterday i was doing my rounds to all my flocks and noticed one of my barnevelders acting lame, not moving or drinking/eating, I put her in “hospital” and checked her out and her crop is empty but feels as if her esophagus or wind pipe is hard as a rock and curved/buldged out...
Hi all
One of my hens (I am not 100% sure which one) has been for the past 2 weeks atleast, probably longer laying eggs with what I am assuming is calcium deposits attached to the shell of the eggs. They are super tiny round balls some of them rub off but most are super stuck. It almost looks...
Howdy! First time chicken lady here, I’ve got a small flock of 5 that are 6 weeks old I believe. I know for sure one is a roo (not pictured) but I’m wondering about my other 4. I also need some breed help with numbers 1 & 4, number 1 is supposedly a Olive Egger and number 4 is supposed to be a...
