Barnevelder Chicks

Introducing the Barnevelder, a breed that brings elegance, charm, and practicality to any backyard flock. Originating from the historic town of Barneveld in Holland, Barnevelders are known for their stunning double-laced feather pattern that showcases a striking blend of reddish-brown and blue-black hues. Whether their plumage is intricately laced or showcases a simpler pattern, these birds never fail to captivate with their beauty and grace. Officially recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1991, Barnevelders are a celebrated breed for both their appearance and their utility.

Barnevelders have a calm, easygoing temperament, making them a great choice for chicken keepers of all experience levels. These birds are a little more relaxed than some other active breeds, but their laid-back nature means they are easy to manage and get along well in mixed flocks. While they may not be as energetic as some breeds, they have a playful streak that adds personality to any backyard. Just be mindful of their diet, as their slower nature means they may be more prone to weight gain.

When it comes to egg production, Barnevelders are dependable layers, producing between 150 and 200 large, rich brown eggs each year. Their eggs have a deep, chocolatey hue, adding a touch of beauty to your egg basket. In terms of size, roosters typically weigh around 7 pounds, with hens averaging about 6 pounds, making them a well-rounded choice for both eggs and companionship.

Barnevelders are also a hardy breed, adapting well to various climates and environments. Whether you live in a warm or cool region, these birds will thrive with the proper care. Their striking looks and calm demeanor make them a standout choice for both small backyard coops and larger flocks.
